Weekend Subway Service Advisories: 4/26 – 4/28/2013
Bad news for anyone going to or from Sunset Park and Gowanus, and some mediocre news for F train riders. Here’s your weekend subway service advisory roundup for Bensonhurst-area lines.
D, N & R LINESLate night trips (11:45 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.) on the D and N will be a headache for some commuters heading to or from Sunset Park or Gowanus. There will be no Manhattan-bound local service from 36th Street to Atlantic Avenue.
For service to 25 St, Prospect Av, 4 Av-9 St and Union St, take the D or N to Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and transfer to a Coney Island-bound train. For service from these stations, take a Coney Island-bound D or N to 36 St and transfer to a Manhattan-bound train.
F LINE
Here’s the goodnews, in the MTA’s own tone-deaf words: “Effective 11 AM, Friday, April 26, 2013, F train is service restored at Smith-9 Sts in both directions.” Woohoo.
Now the bad news: Beginning 11:15 p.m. Friday and lasting all the way ’til 5 a.m. Monday, Coney Island-bound F trains are rerouted via the M after 36 St, Queens to 47-50 Sts. Meanwhile, Coney Island-bound F trains are rerouted via the A from W 4 St to Jay St-MetroTech.
