183 Street is a simple Jerome Avenue elevated station with two side platforms for the three track line. The middle express track is unused in regularly scheduled service, only during construction or other delays involving a train blocking a local track.
Each platform is canopied in their mid-sections with the ends of the platforms (for about two cars) exposed with just a low-lying fence. The station was closed for a rehabilitation in both directions from March 5, 2007 through May 21, 2007. This project replaced the former corrugated metal-looking windscreens with the modern green and cream windscreens, rebuilt the station house and also installed a tactile warning strip and public art.
To leave the station passengers go down two staircases in the middle of each platform and through doors on lower landings into a station house. Inside the small station house are turnstiles and doors that three streetstairs. Two lead out to the NW and SW corners of Jerome Avenue and 183 Street, with another staircase across to the east side of Jerome Avenue, just south of a T-intersection where 183 Street resumes as a street to the east.
