This weekend, the MTA is shutting down a significant portion of the F-line to advance the Culver Viaduct Rehabilitation project to its next phase. This means no Manhattan trips for southern Brooklyn riders without either taking a shuttle bus, or backtracking to Coney Island to take the D-, N-, or Q-trains.

The subway diversions for the weekend of September 17-18 begin Friday night/Saturday morning at midnight and continue until 5am on Monday, unless otherwise noted.

Affected train Weekend service disruption
  • Manhattan-bound D-trains run on the N-line Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue to 36th Street. For service to/from the affected stations, use the Coney Island-bound D-train and switch directions at 62nd Street-New Utrecht Avenue or Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.
  • Coney Island-bound trains skip 71st Street (all times until October 28).
  • D-trains run local from 36th Street to DeKalb Avenue.
  • There are no trains between 18th Avenue and Jay Street-Metrotech, in order to advance the Culver Viaduct Rehabilitation project to its next phase.
  • Free shuttle buses will operate in three sections: (1) local stops between 18th Avenue and 4th Avenue-9th Street, (2) local stops between 4th Avenue-9th Street and Jay Street-Metrotech, and (3) an express stopping ONLY at 18th Avenue, Ditmas Avenue, Church Avenue, and Jay Street-Metrotech.

 
  • Normal service. Guess they had to give us a break somewhere, eh?
