MTA suspends L train weekend service to
accommodate Manhattan escalator repairs
BY KEVIN DUGGAN
The Metropolitan Transportation
Authority will ax L train service in
most of Brooklyn and all of Manhattan
this weekend from Sept. 13–16.
Transit honchos are suspending
service between Broadway Junction
in East New York and Eighth Avenue
in Manhattan starting at 10:45 p.m.
Friday to accommodate upgrades to
an escalator at the Union Square station
across the river, and service won’t
resume until 5 a.m. Monday.
The improvements to the Manhattan
station are part of accessibility
improvements transit honchos promised
during the original L-train shutdown
plan, according to a senior offi -
cial, who said the weekend shutdown
is not a symptom of repairs to the inter
borough Canarsie Tunnel that was
severely damaged during Superstorm
Sandy.
“While the L Project was initiated
because of the damage from Superstorm
Sandy, it was designed to address
many other critical needs —
namely, accessibility,” said New York
City Transit’s Senior Adviser for System
Wide Accessibility Alex Elegudin.
“Advancing this work now at these
critical stations as we had promised
will help to minimize disruptions later
while also getting the accessibility and
ease-of-access improvements done as
quickly as possible, a huge win for our
customers.”
The authority will roll out two free
shuttle buses in Brooklyn during the
closure, including one that will run
from the Lorimer Street L train stop
to the Marcy Avenue and Hewes Street
J and M train stops, and another shuttle
that will run from Lorimer Street
to Broadway Junction, and also stop
at Marcy Avenue, according to the
agency.
The transit authority will enhance
service along the G line, which will
run every 8 minutes instead of every
10 minutes during the day, and they advise
riders to also use the M train as
an alternative.
For a station-by-station breakdown
of alternative options, check out the
agency’s service changes page .
In addition to the cross-borough
closure, the L train will stop running
in Brooklyn between Lorimer Street
and Broadway Junction at weeknights
from midnight Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays
from Sept. 23-27 and Sept. 30-Oct.
4 and throughout the following weekends
of Sept. 27-29 and Oct. 4-6.
There will be two free shuttle buses
with one running between Broadway
Junction and Myrtle Avenue-Wyckoff
Street, and another between Myrtle
Avenue-Wyckoff Street and Lorimer
Street, according to the agency.
The weekend closures will come
back in the new year, with no service
during all weekends in January 2020,
the agency said.
