Starting 5am tomorrow morning, January 26th, all southbound trains will bypass the station till May 2016 (fingers crossed). During construction, the northbound platform will remain open, so you can take the train to 18h Avenue and transfer to northbound train to Ditmas Avenue.

Here’s what the MTA is doing:

The Ditmas Av station renewal project is part of a nine-station renewal/repair project on the Culver Line totaling $80.7 million. The work at Ditmas Av consists of critical repairs to the steel station structure and improvements to architectural treatments, including street and platform stairs, walls and floors; platform panel replacements; tactile warning strip installation; new artwork and windscreens; bird deterrent system installation; and new light fixtures. The station originally opened for service in 1919.
