South of this station, the tracks split into two levels and cross at a flying junction.
These were intended to allow for the construction of a future junction with a proposed line under Worth Street as part of the IND Second System.
The proposed route would have run under Worth Street and East Broadway, and crossed the East River to Brooklyn.
The bellmouths for this proposed route are visible from the E train headed towards and coming from the World Trade Center station.
On the tunnel wall where the turnout is, there is an arrow painted with the words reading: "Worth St." written next to it.
