It's TGIF for everyone EXCEPT L train riders. Last night, the MTA announced that there were signal problems between Myrtle Av-Wyckoff Av and Broadway Junction—which would then "impact service on the L Subway Line Icon Line into the morning peak period on Friday." Godspeed, guys!
Here are the details from the MTA:
There will be no L trains between Broadway Junction and Myrtle Av- Wyckoff Av in both directions. Shuttle buses will operate making corresponding stops between Myrtle Av-Wyckoff Av and Broadway Junction.
There will be limited L Subway Line Icon train service running between Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy and Broadway Junction. At Broadway Junction, customers can transfer for A, C, J or Z trains for further service into Brooklyn and Manhattan.
There will also be reduced service between Myrtle Av-Wyckoff Av and 8Av in Manhattan.
Crews are on site working to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
Customers should allow additional travel time and monitor service status on www.mta.info for updates.
