History
This station was built as part of the IND Concourse Line, which was one of the original lines of the city-owned Independent Subway System (IND).[4][5] The route of the Concourse Line was approved to Bedford Park Boulevard on June 12, 1925 by the New York City Board of Transportation.[5][6] Construction of the line began in July 1928.[7] The station opened on July 1, 1933, along with the rest of the Concourse subway.[8][9]

Side platform |
This underground station has three tracks and two side platforms.[10] The tile band is held in Claret red with a black border; the tile captions show "182" at the south end and change to "183" midway to the north end, similar to the arrangement at the 174th–175th Streets station.
Exits
The mezzanine used to be full length, but has been reduced in size. Crossovers between the two directions are allowed only from the northernmost set of stairs.
Despite the station's name, the only open exits are at 182nd Street; street stairs go to all four corners of 182nd Street and Grand Concourse.[11] A gated off passageway on the north end of the mezzanine leads to a former booth and exits to all four corners of 183rd Street; the stairs have been sealed on street level. There are two additional closed exits at the south end that lead to both sides of the Grand Concourse and Anthony Avenue (between 181st and 182nd Streets). At the request of the local community, these exits and the passageway leading to them were temporarily closed in January 1989 due to low usage, safety hazards and because vandals and criminals frequented the area. After the hearings took place in February and March the same year, these exits were completely shuttered and the stairs were also sealed on street level.[12][13]
