A summer subway G line shutdown has filled commuters with dread – even as they admitted much-needed repair work on the ancient system is probably necessary.
“I’ve heard some coworkers say the shuttle is supposed to take the same amount of time,” he continued. “But you never know what can happen — accidents, traffic … everything is subject to more delays above ground.” Wild video shows straphanger throwing tantrum, attempting to slap cop after NYPD officer tells her to stop vaping at subway stop
“It will crush my bank account,” Patrick Hayes, a 22-year-old construction worker from New Jersey who works in Greenpoint, said on Thursday. Transit officials say they need to close the line so workers can get into the tunnels and tear out the Depression-era stop light signals that frequently break down.
But with the technology comes the pain — and in this case, that means segmented shutdowns that will disrupt the line until Sept. 3.Then the section between Court Square and the Bedford-Nostrand Avenue station will close from July 5 to Aug. 12.
