History thumb|left|200px|Street stair The Dual Contracts, which were signed on March 19, 1913, were contracts for the construction and/or rehabilitation and operation of rapid transit lines in the City of New York. The contracts were "dual" in that they were signed between the City and two separate private companies (the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company), all working together to make the construction of the Dual Contracts possible. The Dual Contracts promised the construction of several lines in the Bronx. As part of Contract 3, the IRT agreed to build an elevated line along Jerome Avenue in the Bronx.http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Chapter_5:_Terms_and_Conditions_of_Dual_System_Contracts New Subways For New York: The Dual System of Rapid Transit Chapter 5: Terms and Conditions of Dual System Contracts New York Public Service Commission 1913 February 16, 2015http://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/The_Dual_System_of_Rapid_Transit_(1912) The Dual System of Rapid Transit (1912) New York State Public Service Commission 1912https://www.newspapers.com/clip/35605250/the-brooklyn-daily-eagle/ Most Recent Map of the Dual Subway System Which Shows How Brooklyn Borough Is Favored In New Transit Lines September 9, 1917 The Brooklyn Daily Eagle August 23, 2016 newspapers.com 176th Street station opened as part of the initial section of the line to Kingsbridge Road on June 2, 1917.
