In early 2012, the [[45th Road–Court House Square station]] was closed for a complete renovation, which included the addition of elevators and a connection to the [[Court Square–23rd Street station]] complex.<ref name="MTA-IRTCourtSq-Apr22012">{{cite news|title=Court Square on the No.7 Line Re-Opens|url=http://www.mta.info/news/2012/04/02/court-square-no7-line-re-opens|access-date=July 28, 2016|work=[[Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]|date=April 2, 2012|archive-date=October 22, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022211010/http://www.mta.info/news/2012/04/02/court-square-no7-line-re-opens|url-status=dead}}</ref> Additionally, several stations along the line, including Vernon Boulevard–Jackson Avenue, Queensboro Plaza, 33rd Street, and 46th Street, are slated to receive elevators as part of the 2020–2024 MTA Capital Program.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mta.info/news/2018/04/26/funding-subway-station-ada-accessibility-approved|title=Funding For Subway Station ADA-Accessibility Approved|date=April 26, 2018|website=www.mta.info|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180428093833/http://www.mta.info/news/2018/04/26/funding-subway-station-ada-accessibility-approved|archive-date=April 28, 2018|access-date=April 27, 2018}}</ref>

As part of the 2015–2019 Capital Program, the MTA would renovate the 52nd, 61st, 69th, 82nd, 103rd and 111th Streets stations, a project that has been delayed for several years. Conditions at these stations were among the worst of all stations in the subway system.<ref>{{cite web | title=MTA To Overhaul Six Stations on the 7 Line, Currently in Design Phase | website=Sunnyside Post | last=Murray | first=Christian | date=November 19, 2019 | url=https://sunnysidepost.com/mta-to-overhaul-six-stations-on-the-7-line-currently-in-design-phase | access-date=April 29, 2020}}</ref> Work was supposed to begin in mid-2020 but was delayed due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in New York City]].<ref name="Sunnyside Post 2021">{{cite web | title=MTA's Plan To Overhaul Six Stations on 7 Line is Moving Forward | website=Sunnyside Post | date=July 6, 2021 | url=https://sunnysidepost.com/mtas-plan-to-overhaul-six-stations-on-7-line-is-moving-forward | access-date=March 20, 2023}}</ref> The MTA hired [[Judlau Contracting]] as the contractor for the project; in March 2023, Judlau leased space near the [[82nd Street–Jackson Heights station|82nd Street station]] for a construction office.<ref name="Hallum 2023">{{cite web | last=Hallum | first=Mark | title=Judlau Contracting Leases 14K SF for Jackson Heights Office | website=Commercial Observer | date=March 14, 2023 | url=https://commercialobserver.com/2023/03/judlau-contracting-lease-rockfarmer/ | access-date=March 20, 2023}}</ref><ref name="Jackson Heights Post 2023">{{cite web | title=MTA project to renovate five 7 train subway stations draws near as contractor leases command center in Jackson Heights | website=Jackson Heights Post | date=March 17, 2023 | url=https://jacksonheightspost.com/mta-renovate-7-train-stations-command-center-jackson-heights | access-date=March 20, 2023}}</ref> {{As of|March 2023}}, the MTA planned to begin renovating the 61st, 82nd, and 111th Street stations in 2023; the 52nd and 69th Street stations in 2024; and the 103rd Street station in 2025.<ref>{{cite web | title=Improving the 7 Line | website=MTA | date=March 9, 2023 | url=https://new.mta.info/project/flushing-line | access-date=March 20, 2023}}</ref>
