The No. 1 line’s Cortlandt Street subway station is set to reopen for the first time since 9/11, paying special homage to the tragedy by including incorporating “World Trade Center” into its name, according to photos and workers.

The lower Manhattan stop — once located in the shadow of the Twin Towers — also will feature a touching mosaic inscription.

Artist Ann Hamilton said she took phrases such as “freedom of thought’’ and “progress and better standards of life’’ from the United Nations’ Declaration of Human Rights and the Declaration of Independence for the work.

The station, which was destroyed by the falling towers, will reopen in the fall after a 17-year construction effort.

A photographer Friday spotted workers installing “World Trade Center’’ signs and tiling with the same words on the subway’s walls.

MTA officials declined to say whether “World Trade Center” would be the full name of the station or if Cortlandt would still be a part of its moniker.

Workers at the site said there are already three signs up at the station and they all say “World Trade Center,” although the hardhats added that on paperwork, they were instructed to refer to the stop as Cortlandt/World Trade Center.

MTA board member Andrew Albert said he feels that Cortlandt should still be a part of the name.

“I thought it was going to be Cortlandt Street-World Trade Center, and that is what it should be called,” Albert told The Post.

“The name Cortlandt should be in there, that’s the name everyone remembers, and that’s the traditional name and the name that lets people know where they are,’’ he said.

The station, which turned 100 in June, was named after nearby Cortlandt Street, which got its title from a 17th-century Dutch brewer who settled on the island of Manhattan, then called New Amsterdam.

Repairs to the station have been plagued with delays and have cost a total of $158 million, officials said.

There is also a Cortlandt station on the R/W line that was closed for more than a year after the attacks. And there is a “World Trade Center’’ station on the E train line.

The revived station will be billed as a part of the World Trade Center transportation hub.
