Watch For Changes On The N And R Lines This Weekend

We know we said this last week, and then the MTA (whose maniacal laughter was heard throughout the five boroughs) changed the schedule at the last minute, but supposedly the F and G trains are stopping at 4th Avenue/9th Street this weekend. We’ll believe it when we see it.

There are a handful of posted changes to watch out for on this holiday weekend, though. Here’s what to expect:

Coney Island-bound N trains stop at 45 St and 53 St
Weekends, 12:01am Saturday to 5am Monday, until May 5
Allow additional travel time.

No R shuttle train between 59 St and 36 St
Late nights, 11:30pm Friday to 5am Monday, until May 5
Shuttle service operates between 95 St and 59 St. For 53, 45, and 36 Sts, take the N instead. Transfer between trains at 59 St.

No R trains between Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn
All times until October 2014
No R service at City Hall, Cortlandt, Rector, Whitehall, Court Streets, and Jay Street-MetroTech. R service operates between Forest Hills-71st Avenue and Bay Ridge-95th Street. Trains run via the Q in both directions between Canal Street and DeKalb Avenue.

These schedules occasionally change, so be sure to check mta.info for the latest information.
