How much more longer the Q reroute via the R line will last? I noticed that it says track replacement but it keeps going on late nights and weekends on the weekdays how the trains can go over the replaced tracks and seems it taking a while.

It’s taking forever to finish this track replacement!! The Q via Lower Manhattan is a miserable ride every weekend.
