With tourist season upon us, work is clearly slowing down across the city. Although the weekend service advisories are numerous, they generally don’t impact much of the service to and from Manhattan’s Central Business District. The Upper West Side is spared the 96th St. advisories, and trains are running through Fulton St. after last week’s troubles.
Anyway, you know the drill. Don’t forget to check out our map from Subway Weekender that shows just how the subway changes impact travel. Download this week’s version right here or by clicking on the image below. Remember: These weekend service changes come to me from the MTA and are subject to change without notice. Check signs in your local station and listen for on-board announcements for up-to-the minute changes. The specific alerts follow.

That bloody one is INTENSE.
There was a major reroute on the F straight through all of Manhattan.
Not sure what 96th St. advisory you’re referring to – the 1 ran express from there all the way to 157th St.
And trains were running through Fulton St. last weekend (except for the southbound A/C, due to replacement of the signals in the Canal St. area). Some transfers weren’t available because some of the ramps were being replaced by temporary staircases. (And I’m surprised you haven’t posted anything about the temporary staircases yet!)
