Subway Service Alerts: Brooklyn Heights and Vicinity

Good news! We have a projected time for the end of the post-Sandy tunnel reconstruction work on the 2/3 line that has meant no weekend service in either direction to or from Clark Street or the 2/3 platforms at Borough Hall. According to the MTA’s website, service should be restored at 12:01 AM on Sunday, June 24. But this weekend — 10:45 PM Friday, May 11 to 5:00 AM Monday, May 14 — and all subsequent weekends until June 24, we will be without 2 or 3 service to or from Manhattan or Brooklyn.

Unfortunately, the rest of the weekend looks a bit complicated. From 9:45 PM Friday to 5:00 AM Monday there will be no Manhattan bound service at High Street, as Manhattan bound A and C trains will be diverted to the F line between Jay Street-MetroTech and West 4th Street. You may catch a Manhattan bound A or C at Jay Street or down the hill at York Street in DUMBO. During the same period, there will be no Brooklyn bound service at York Street, and extra Brooklyn bound service at High Street, as F trains running from Manhattan into Brooklyn are being diverted to the A/C line. Also, during this same time, there will be no Manhattan bound service at Clark Street or on the N/R platforms at Jay Street. During late night hours (11:45 PM Friday to 6:00 AM Saturday; 11:30 PM Saturday to 6:00 AM Sunday; 11:30 PM Sunday to 5:00 AM Monday) there will be no Brooklyn bound R service at Clark or Jay. To get to R stops past Atlantic Avenue, take an N to Atlantic and transfer to an R there.

The following work week — Monday, May 14 to Friday, May 18 — each night from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM, there will be no Manhattan bound service at Clark Street or from the N/R platforms at Jay Street. There will also be no Brooklyn bound R service at Clark or Jay each night from 11:45 PM to 5:00 AM. Again, to get to R stops past Atlantic Avenue, take an N to Atlantic and transfer to an R there. Also, these same late nights, there will be no 3 train service to or from Brooklyn, but the 2 should be running normally.

For planned service changes that may affect travel on other parts of the system, either during the weekend or the following week, and for unplanned disruptions, see MTA Info.

    With the rotten, rainy weather, another inducement to just stay home and watch TV this weekend.

    Sorry, Moms!
