Between the bridge and the BMT Broadway Line, there is one station, at Canal Street (originally known as Broadway) located underneath the BMT Broadway Line station as well as the similarly named stations on the BMT Nassau Street and IRT Lexington Avenue lines.
The Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line, a streetcar company, began operations on the subway tracks in 1912 until BRT (later BMT) trackage was connected to the bridge in 1915, and the trolleys were moved to the upper level roadways.
Concurrent with the building of the Chrystie Street Connection (opened November 26, 1967) to connect to the north tracks, the south tracks were rerouted to the BMT Broadway Line connection, and the connecting tracks to the BMT Nassau Street Line were closed and subsequently removed.
