The subway disruptions for July 9-10 begin Friday night at midnight and continue through Monday at 5am, unless otherwise noted.

Weekend service disruption |
 |
- Coney Island-bound D trains run on the N line from 36th Street to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue (express during the day) due to structural repair/station rehabilitations from 71st Street to Bay 50th Street and ADA work at Bay Parkway.
- For travel to affected stations, continue on your Coney-bound D-train to either New Utrecht Ave-62nd Street or Coney Island-Stillwell Ave and backtrack to your destination on a Manhattan-bound D-train.
- What not to do: hop off the D-train at 36th Street when the conductor announces the service change and wait for the train that goes down your line. That won’t help you – it isn’t coming. You know who those people are. They’re the ones who didn’t read Bensonhurst Weekend Subway Update.
- For travel from affected stations, take the Manhattan-bound D-train to New Utrecht Ave-62nd Street or 36th Street and backtrack on the Coney Island-bound D- or N-train.

 |
- F-trains in both directions skip Smith-9th Sts due to the Culver Viaduct Rehabilitation Project (all times pretty much forever).
- Red Hook is overrated, anyway.
- Manhattan-bound F-trains run on the A-line from Jay Street (Brooklyn) to West 4th Street (Manhattan) due to work on the Broadway/Lafayette-to-Bleecker Street transfer connection.
|
 |
- N-trains will run on the local track under 4th Avenue – from DeKalb Avenue to 59th Street. (6:30am-10pm both Saturday and Sunday)
- From the Department of Who Writes This Crap, Anyway: I don’t understand why the MTA feels the need to imply express service is restored at 10pm, since we all know the N-train goes local overnight, anyway. But here I am, totally enabling them.
