The flooding resulted in salt water corroding the power cables, rails, and fasteners, raising the potential for future service delays. Ventilation, lighting, pump control, and signal communication systems were destroyed. While temporary repairs were made after the storm, all of these vital systems need permanent repairs. Fix & Fortify work will restore and rebuild components in the Greenpoint Tubes to restore reliable train service, and, where feasible, add resilient features to make the G line less vulnerable to future severe weather events. Work commences with this 12-weekend effort in 2013, with a second phase of work to follow in 2014. Stay informed Visit mta.info for planned service change information or to use TripPlanner+.
