The 72nd Street is a planned station, under construction as part of the first phase of the Second Avenue Subway project.[1][2][3] It was conceived as a three track station with two island platforms, but prior to construction was reduced to a two track, one island platform station. This is the southern-most Second Avenue line station before the connection to the BMT 63rd Street Line and the Lexington Avenue – 63rd Street station.

The station is expected to open in the late 2010s.[2]
