It will be completely shut between Lex/63rd and 57/6th Why else do you think the MTA is running a shuttle train every 20 min? It’s because they are running one set of trains back and forth Ah! The reports I previously had was only the part between 57th and 6th and 63rd and Lex was being worked on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted August 10, 2023 Share #3752 Posted August 10, 2023 There is a separate full train closure GO coming up for Labor Day but extends to Thursday and Friday weekdays. Likely due to low ridership expected for the holiday weekend, so they’ll run the similar to how they ran it during the 121 St-Jamaica closure - fully local and absorbing the train trips, and also local Myrtle to Marcy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
