Station layout
This underground station has two tracks and an island platform. Opened on December 11, 1988, it serves as the replacement for the former Metropolitan Avenue and Queens Boulevard stations of the BMT Jamaica Line. The track walls are mostly orange. The mezzanine is suspended above the Jamaica-bound track via heavy cables linked to the station roof. On the Manhattan-bound side, the station walls contain spaces for windows that can allow natural sunlight in, but they are currently covered over.
North (railroad south) of the station, the tracks lead trains to the IND Queens Boulevard Line, where they either switch to the line's local or express tracks depending on the time of day.
Exits
The Jamaica–Van Wyck station has two entrances.
