G service is set to return between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues on Monday, Aug. 12, ending more than a month of arduous commuting for riders in Long Island City, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Bedford-Stuyvesant as they shuffled onto shuttle buses to get where they need to go.
Also on Monday, the final phase of work on modernizing the Crosstown Line’s signals will begin, necessitating the closure of the line from Bedford-Nostrand Avenues in Bed-Stuy to Church Avenue in Kensington till Sept. 3. B93 shuttle buses will run between Bedford-Nostrand and Jay Street-MetroTech, but south of that riders are advised to take the F train, which shares a right-of-way with the G from Downtown Brooklyn to Kensington.The overarching purpose of the work is to modernize the train signals on the G, which like much of the subway system date back to the 1930s. Those ancient signals break down frequently and are a major source of subway delays.
But the MTA is also using the rare 24/7 shutdown as an opportunity to conduct other, related work, like replacing old wooden railroad ties with composite ties that are more resistant to water infiltration. The MTA also replaced the entire interlocking between 21st Street and Court Square, the kind of work that can only be done during a full shutdown and a job that hadn’t been done there in over 30 years.
The first item of business for Phase 3 of the plan is to replace tracks along a sharp curve between Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets and Bergen Street, the MTA says.Subway shover pleads guilty to unprovoked attack at Times Square station in 2021Jalen Brunson talks Knicks captaincy, contract extension thought processNew York Comedy Club celebrates a milestone and a grand opening in Manhattan’s Upper West SideNYPD vs. FDNY: ‘Battle of the Badges’ baseball game returning to Citi Field Sep.
