Home Service Advisories Getting out of town — or around it — for Memorial Day Weekend

Getting out of town — or around it — for Memorial Day Weekend

by Benjamin Kabak

Aren’t three-day weekends the best? Memorial Day certainly ranks up there. It’s the unofficial start of summer, and we’re getting some warm weather.

I’ll be out of town through Monday evening, but if you’re around this weekend, there’s a good subway-related event for you to check out. Ryan, a Second Ave. Sagas reader, e-mailed me last night to tell me that that shooting of Pelham 1-2-3 is out in full force this weekend.

According to Ryan, the NYPD has papered the FiDi with No Parking signs in advance of weekend shooting. The signs are up right now in the vicinity of Beaver and William Streets. If any intrepid readers venture down to the shooting and capture some photos, contact me with the details.

Meanwhile, for those of you spending Memorial Day in the city, service alerts abound. Because of the three-day weekend, most of these service alerts are in place through Tuesday morning 5 a.m. instead of the usual Monday morning 5 a.m. How fun.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 27, 1 trains skip 28th, 23rd, and 18th Streets in both directions due to work at Cortlandt Street.

From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, uptown 1 trains skip 103rd, 110th, 116th, and 125th Streets due to track and roadbed reconstruction at 110th Street.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 27, there are no 1 trains between 14th Street and South Ferry due to Port Authority WTC-related work at Cortlandt Street.

From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, downtown 12 trains skip 86th and 79th Streets due to station rehab work at 96th Street.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 27, 2 and 3 trains run local between 96th Street and Chambers Street due to work at Cortlandt Street. – This is the never-ending, terribly inconvenient service advisory. This Cortlandt St. project can’t finish soon enough.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, Manhattan-bound 2 trains run express from Gun Hill Road to East 180th Street due to track and structural work at East 180th Street.

From 4 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 10 p.m. Sunday, May 25, Bronx-bound 6 trains run express from Hunts Point Avenue to Parkchester due to track panel work between Hunts Point Avenue and Parkchester. The last stop for some Bronx-bound 6 trains is 3rd Avenue.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, there are no 7 trains between Times Square and Queensboro Plaza due to tunnel security work and signal work. Customers should take the N or Q trains and free shuttle bus for alternate service.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, there is no C train service. Customers should take the A train instead. The A train runs local between 168th Street and Euclid Avenue. 207th Street-bound A trains run on the F line from Jay Street to West 4th Street. These changes are due to signal work at Chambers Street.


From 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 23 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, there are no G trains between Court Square and Forest Hills-71st Avenue due to track chip-out between Roosevelt Avenue and Queens Plaza and switch renewal work between 21st Street-Queensbridge and 36th Street. Customers should take the E.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, Brooklyn-bound NR trains rerouted over the Manhattan Bridge from Canal Street to DeKalb Avenue due to rehab work at Lawrence Street.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, Q trains are extended to the Astoria-Ditmars Blvd. N station to supplement N service due to work on the 7 line. – Last weekend when this alert was in place, the rollover signs on the Q still said 57th St. How confusing.

From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 24, Manhattan-bound Q trains run express from Kings Highway to Prospect Park due to tree removal adjacent to the Brighton Line right-of-way.


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, May 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, May 26, 42nd Street S shuttle train will run overnight to replace 7 service between Grand Central and Times Square.
