Wakefield–241st Street is a terminal station on the IRT White Plains Road Line of the New York City Subway, located at the intersection of 241st Street and White Plains Road in the Wakefield neighborhood of the Bronx. It is served by the ' train during weekdays and weekday late nights and by the train on weekends and weekend late nights; during weekdays, limited a.m. rush hour 5' service also terminates here in the northbound direction only. This station is geographically the northernmost station in the entire New York City Subway system.HistoryThe station officially opened on December 13, 1920 when the final portion of the line was opened; it was extended from its previous terminal at East 238th Street to its permanent terminal at East 241 Street. This portion of the line had its opening delayed, owing to construction on the line between the two stations for the construction of the 239th Street Yard. Additional time was required to modify the structure to avoid a grade crossing at the entrance to the yard.The station was renovated from July 30, 2005 to December 11, 2005, as part of a $167 million project to renovate ten stations on the White Plains Road Line. The station, as part of the renovation, got a new high-quality public address system, new platform edge and ADA tactile warning strips, major structural repairs, new canopies over the stairs and platforms, repaired walls, renewed floors, and a redesign of the area around the station booth.
