what is the big deal with the D running 2 sections due to broadway layfette work? I thought it going be working on the Manhattan Bridge. Since the F stops there why they need to suspend the D between 34th-Pacific St? Why they can’t put the D on the local track and it not that big deal
There’s no switch at Broadway-Lafayette between the express and local track. There’s no way to get the D to Pacific Street and that’s why the service is split.
And remember that they had said that the Bleecker/B’way-Lafayette project would be finished in January. Maybe it will be January 2013.
The track panel installation at Halsey Street and Gates Avenue is taking quite a bit of time!!
