It is a doozy of a weekend for folks who live along the Canarsie Line. Due to upgrades along the L, there is no service from 8th Ave. to Broadway Junction, and all of the Williamsburgians and Bushwickites are stuck with shuttle buses and alternate routes including weekend M service. On the bright, the new Court Square Station should come in handy this weekend.
As always, these come to me via New York City Transit and are subject to change without notice. Listen to on board announcements, check signs in your local station and be prepared for longer than usual rides this weekend. Subway Weekender has the map.
At all times beginning until June 2011, the Manhattan-bound platform at 238th Street will be closed for station component work. For Manhattan-bound service, customers should take the Bx9 bus or walk to the 242nd or 231st Street Station.
From 11:30 p.m. Friday, June 3 to 5 a.m. Monday, June 6, there are no 1 trains between 14th Street and South Ferry due to Port Authority work at the WTC site and no 1 trains between 168th Street and 242nd Streets due to station component work between 242nd and Dyckman Streets. 2, 3 and A trains, free shuttle buses and the M3 bus provide alternate service.
Free shuttle buses replace 1 service at three locations:

Maybe some day when I’m old and gray we’ll see a service advisory for the “T” line on this list.
Those M bullets!
There ya go. Fixed it for you.
omFg the L being closed is such a transportation disaster.
“interborough”
i like the full spelling
Do they add G trains or make them full length when the L is out like this?
So is the L going to be running next weekend or is this one of many weekends without interborough service? tried to call the MTA, they have no clue.
Everything is fine with the L this upcoming weekend.
