The familiar sound of a soft “ding”
followed by the crackling radio
voice of a train conductor delivered
exciting news on the morning of
April 25 to riders of the M train shuttle
in Ridgewood.
The M train will return to full
service on Monday, April 30, right on
schedule.
As of press time Wednesday aft ernoon,
the MTA had not yet confi rmed
the news, but noted an announcement
was pending. Nonetheless, a trusted
source who rode the M train shuttle
on Wednesday morning told the
Ridgewood Times that the conductor
made the announcement — and other
riders wrote about it on local Facebook
groups.
The restoration of service will
give Ridgewood, Middle Village and
Glendale residents a direct line into
Manhattan once again.
Train service between the Myrtle
Wyckoff Avenue and Myrtle Avenue
Broadway stops will be restored
with the completion of an 10-month
project that began in July 2017 to repair
parts of the 100-year-old tracks.
The work was considered critical
to preparing the M train for the increased
volume it is expected to see
during the L train shutdown in 2019.
The entire M line between Metropolitan
Avenue-Middle Village and
Myrtle Avenue-Broadway was closed
for two months last summer as crews
replaced a bridge near the Metropolitan
Avenue stop. While shuttle service
was restored between Metropolitan
Avenue and Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues
in Ridgewood aft er Labor Day of 2017,
the remainder of the line in Bushwick
was closed as workers demolished
and rebuilt a viaduct linking it to the
J/Z line.
The 310-foot-long Myrtle Viaduct
was built in 1913 and carries tens of
thousand of riders each weekday when
in service. The tracks, steel structure
and concrete deck below all suff ered
major deterioration over the years.
The night before the A on-train announcement,
the Community Board 5
Transportation Services Committee
met in Glendale on April 24, and the
possible M train reopening date of
April 30 was a main topic of discussion.
Though the MTA has not offi cially
confi rmed the date with him either,
committee member John Maier said
that he observed workers at the Myrtle
Broadway stop working late hours
that very evening.
“All the track is in place. All the third
rail is in place,” Maier said. “Everything
seems appropriate. It’s a matter
of functionality.”
The MTA is expected to make a formal
announcement about the M train
soon, according to a spokesperson for
the agency.
