Jay Street–MetroTech (formerly Lawrence Street–MetroTech before the construction of the station complex) is a local station on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line with two tracks and one narrow island platform. Unlike in the IND station, there are no tiles on the track walls. A narrow mezzanine above the platform connects the station's two easternmost fare control areas. It still has its original directional signs labeled as "to Lawrence Street" and "to Bridge Street". The platform formerly had a narrow up-only escalator that bypassed the Lawrence and Willoughby Streets fare control, and led to a small landing with two high exit-only gates. A short staircase then connected to the landing of the southeast street stairs to that intersection. After the contract was approved for the Montague Street Tunnel and the associated subway line, the planners realized that here should have been a station at Lawrence Street. The station was not in the original plans for the line, but in 1916, an additional station at Lawrence and Willoughby Streets was proposed. The original contract was modified in July 1917 and a provision for the station was added. Construction was stopped on May 18, 1918, because of a wartime shortage of materials and men due to World War I, and about half the station was completed. Service running through the Montague Tunnel and this station began on August 1, 1920, while the station was being construction alongside in-service trains. The line was called the Montague Street Tunnel Line. Construction resumed on May 18, 1922. The scope of work included excavation from the street to provide an entrance, the construction of an island platform between the two cast iron-lined tunnels covered by a steel and concrete roof, and the construction of a passageway, mezzanine and entrances. On June 11, 1924, the Lawrence Street station opened with the Lawrence Street entrances; the Bridge Street entrances opened later.

The (R) train platform is very narrow so watch your step. Poor service on the (R). Transfer available to the (A)(C)(F) trains at the western (uptown) end of the platform. The (N) train stops here at night and a couple of (W) trains during rush hours to/from Gravesend / 86th Street on the (N) line.

Good station. Always get on and off here. Gets me where I need to go and is near/in a good shopping area!

The R train station could be more wider... I almost fell off so many times especially when it's crowded!!

The R Train Platform is very narrow. Keep that in mind when getting on/off at this station.

Lift and escalators are always good for handicapped and elderly

Many trains stop here including A/C/F/R. Decent station.

It's a convenient station, but can be sketchy at times.

R train always slow need too be fix.... #ijs

Decent. Transfers to the A,C, and F trains
