Hello, and welcome to the weekend!
We've got an important heads-up about long-term work happening on the lines in Queens:
Starting tonight, evening service is changing as we begin the next phase of our CBTC signal modernization project along Queens Blvd. After 9:30 p.m., Queens-bound trains will end at Queens Plaza, and trains will make local stops in Queens, daily. This is because we need to use the express tracks along western Queens Blvd to store trains overnight while we upgrade signals between Kew Gardens-Union Tpke and Jamaica-179 St. trains will resume regular service every morning between 5 and 6 a.m.
If you're riding the line this weekend, you might notice we've made an upgrade! Our newest addition to the subway fleet, the R211, is now in service. The train features wider doors, more accessible seating areas, improved digital screens, and more. Learn more.
And now, here's your weekend summary:
- trains aren't running between Manhattan and the Bronx
- trains aren't running at all
- trains aren't running between 149 St-Grand Concourse and E 180 St
- trains are rerouted in Manhattan and Brooklyn
