Weekend changes affecting 13 lines

by Benjamin Kabak

These are a bit late week. My apologies as some changes have already gone into effect. As always, these come to me via New York City Transit and are subject to change without notice. Listen to on-board announcements for the latest. Subway Weekender has the map.


From 11:30 p.m. Friday, March 18 to 5 a.m. Monday, March 21, 1 service is suspended between Van Cortlandt Park/242nd Street and 168th Street due to station renovations north of Dyckman Street. A trains, free shuttle buses and the M3 bus provide alternate service. Free shuttle buses run in two sections:

  • On Broadway between 242nd Street and the 207th Street A station
  • On St. Nicholas Avenue between 191st Street and 168th Street


From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, March 19 to 5 a.m. Monday, March 21, Bronx-bound 2 trains skip Bronx Park East, Pelham Parkway, Allerton and Burke Avenues due to track circuit work at Bronx Park East.

From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, March 19 to 5 a.m. Monday, March 21, Brooklyn-bound D trains run on the N line from 36th Street to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue due to track panel installation between 50th Street and 55th Street.

An update on somethimg that I commented about the other day:

I passed by 47th St. east of Park Ave. today, and it now says that that Grand Central entrance will be completed in 2012.
Didn’t they go from saying 2011 to early 2012 to just 2012?
