With Labor Day weekend approaching, the MTA is advising riders of planned service changes throughout the subway system this week.
Starting on Monday, Aug. 26, overnight 2 train service will be suspended between the Third Avenue-149th Street stop in the Bronx and the 135th Street in Manhattan, from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily through Friday. Free shuttle buses will be available as the MTA works to replace tracks.
Also overnight from Monday through Friday to accommodate track work, New Lots Avenue-bound 4 trains will run express from the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station to the Crown Heights-Utica Avenue station, stopping only at Franklin Avenue. Service on the 3 line will be suspended during that period, with the 2 and 4 trains making stops on the 3 line.
For those planning on getting around the city this holiday weekend, 2 train service won't be running between Third Avenue-149th Street in the Bronx and 96th Street in Manhattan from Friday at 11:30 p.m. to Monday at 5 a.m. Free shuttle buses will again be available.
Service on the 3 train will also remain suspended over the weekend, with the 2 and 4 trains making those stops in Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, G train service is expected to be restored between the Bedford-Nostrand Avenues and Church Avenue stations in Brooklyn on Tuesday at 5 a.m., after the third phase of repairs in the line’s summer shutdown is completed. The work is meant to improve the G train’s reliability by upgrading signals, switches and tracks.
More information on subway service changes, including reduced service on some lines and shuttle schedules, is available on the MTA’s website.
