A trains will stop running between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd in Queens for nine days, starting at 12:30am Saturday, Nov. 7. Weekend service changes also affect the 1, J and M lines.
Riders who use the 104 St, 111 St or Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd stations will need free shuttle buses. The A train still runs on the rest of its route, so this is not a shutdown of the whole line.
A train: nine days in Queens
The suspension runs from 12:30am Saturday, Nov. 7, to 5am Monday, Nov. 16, so crews can do signal modernization work. Free shuttle buses run between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd, stopping at 104 St and 111 St, at all times during the suspension.
Lefferts-bound A trains are diverted to Howard Beach-JFK Airport. Riders going between Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens can still take A trains between Inwood-207 St and Far Rockaway-Mott Av or Howard Beach-JFK Airport. Anyone heading to Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd can transfer to the shuttle bus at Rockaway Blvd.
1 train: no service at the northern end
1 trains will not run between Van Cortlandt Park-242 St and Dyckman St from 11:30pm Friday, Nov. 6, to 5am Monday, Nov. 9, because of structural work, the MTA said. Free shuttle buses cover that stretch. Washington Heights riders are told to use nearby stations. 1 trains still run between Dyckman St and South Ferry, every 8 minutes during the day and evening.
J and M trains: Brooklyn and Manhattan this weekend
From 3:30am Saturday, Nov. 7, to 10pm Sunday, Nov. 8, J trains will not run between Myrtle Av and Broad St, and M trains will not run between Myrtle Av and Delancey St-Essex St, because of track and switch work, the MTA said.
Free shuttle buses serve Flushing Av, Lorimer St, Hewes St, Marcy Av and Delancey St-Essex St, making all stops. For Bowery, Canal St, Chambers St, Fulton St and Broad St, riders should use nearby subway stops instead. For direct trips between Brooklyn and Manhattan, the MTA points riders to other trains. Riders who exit at Myrtle Av or Delancey St-Essex St need a GO Ticket from a station agent to re-enter.
