Kingsbridge Road is an express station on the IND Concourse Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the D train at all times and the B train during rush hours only. It has three tracks and two island platforms.

The station has one mezzanine above the platforms and another below them. The full-time entrance is at 196th Street on the north end and contains two street stairs and one stair to each platform. The part-time entrance is at Kingsbridge Road on the south end and contains three stairs to the lower mezzanine with exits to the streets via two stairs to each side of the Concourse or Kingsbridge Road underpasses. However, prior to a booth operation switch in the 1990s, the part-time side was at the current full-time side and vice versa. There are two now closed additional exits still visible on the south side of Kingsbridge Road.

The tile band in this station is Marine Blue and vent chambers are also present. Strange white walls exist at both platform staircases to the Kingsbridge Road exit. It is not known why they were built.

As of 2015, the station has been renovated to comply with ADA standards, with two elevators from the Kingsbridge Road mezzanine to both platforms and another from the mezzanine to the northeast corner of the Concourse and Kingsbridge Road.
