The MTA is completing an upgrade of the switches on the Broadway subway line, and the work will mean that the 1, 2 and 3 lines are completely shut down on the west side for two weekends.
The 1 will only go as far south as 137th Street, the 2 is running on the Lexington Avenue line and the 3 is completely shut down. Or as the bullet points below from the MTA show:
The 2 operates between Wakefield-241 St and Flatbush Av via Lexington Avenue express
The 3 is suspended for two weekends, no 2, 3 service at regular Manhattan stations and in Brooklyn at Clark St, Borough Hall, and Hoyt St.
4 extended to New Lots Av all weekend to replace 3
These weekend service changes on August 16-19 and August 23-26 will begin late Friday evening and end at 5 a.m. the following Monday.
The MTA is adding new kinds of service over these two weekends to give people other options. It’s all detailed in the video below and the bullet points beneath that.
