When we heard the following news, we were certain it would be followed by a Notify NYC alert telling us to beware of low-flying pigs arriving from a frozen-over Hell.

But no, none of that happened. And we’re happy to say that the Manhattan-bound platforms at Avenue U and Neck Road are now open – meaning a full restoration of service on both sides. Work is still being done and the[ two-year project](/neck-rd-avenue-u-station-changes/) is not yet complete. The [MTA’s page on the Brighton Line Restoration project](http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/bqLinesRehab.htm?ref=bklyner.com) says the final touches will be in Early 2011\. The project was slightly delayed, as the [original completion date](/ave-u-gravesend-stations-delayed-no-surprises/) was supposed to be in 2010 – but at least we’ve got our service back.

Further down the line, Manhattan-bound platforms at Avenue M and Avenue H will remain closed until Fall 2011.

Tip o’ the hat to [GerritsenBeach.net](http://www.gerritsenbeach.net/2010/10/25/manhattan-bound-service-at-avenue-u-and-neck-rd-restored/?ref=bklyner.com) for spotting this before us.
