EE Broadway Local Posted September 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2009 From NY1 Transit: "A heads up to straphangers who take the train. There will be a major shutdown this weekend because of station rehabilitation work. From 9:30pm Friday to 5:00am Monday there will be no service between Prospect Park and Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island. As a result, a total of thirteen (13) stations will be completely closed. Free Shuttle Bus Services will be provided." I'm sorry, there was nothing about the at West Eighth Street, so maybe that station will be open partially. Coney Island will still see the and .

LRG Posted September 26, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 26, 2009 Damn, I would understand, as I lived near the Brighton line in 2002. But all these changes will benefit the Brighton Line, watch and see! The 1980s work was real shoddy, and this project will reverse everything and make it better.

EE Broadway Local Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted September 26, 2009 Well, if you live about midway on either side, at least you have the as far as Flatbush Avenue and the but if you live closer to the Brighton Line, you'll probably be disappointed with the terminating at Prospect Park and 13 completely closed subway stations.

R32 3348 Posted September 27, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 27, 2009 We already knew this was coming. When they first announced that the Brighton Line would get rehabilitated, they said that periodic weekend shutdowns would follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
