Subway Service Alerts: Brooklyn Heights and Nearby

Subway disruptions this weekend — Late Friday night, March 22 to early Monday morning, March 25 — are minimal. Late nights Friday to Saturday, Saturday to Sunday, and Sunday to Monday there will be no 4 train service at Borough Hall, as 4 trains will not be going to or from Brooklyn during these hours. 2 trains should be running normally, except that from early morning to early evening Saturday and Sunday they will be on a reduced schedule. 3 trains, which normally do not serve Brooklyn late at night, will fill in for the 4 during the late nights, running to and from New Lots Avenue. If you’re traveling to or from Manhattan you can switch between the 4 and the 2 or 3 at Fulton Street.

The following work week — Monday morning, March 25 to Friday evening, March 29 — there will be no late night service at Clark Street or at the 2/3 platforms at Borough Hall, as 2 trains will not be running between Chambers Street in Manhattan and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center, and 3 trains do not serve Brooklyn late at night (except on the preceding weekend). 4, A, C, N, and R trains should be running normally. Late nights Monday to Tuesday through Thursday to Friday there will be no G train service between Hoyt-Schermerhorn and Church Avenue. To get to or from G train stops, use the F train to or from Church Avenue. Coney Island bound F trains will be skipping all stations between Jay Street-MetroTech and Church Avenue. To get to these stations take a Coney Island bound F to Church Avenue and take a Manhattan bound F back to the skipped station.

These are the PLANNED service changes for this weekend and for the following week. Always check MTA Info for unplanned service changes that may affect local service or service on other parts of your trip, or for planned service changes that affect stations to or from which you may be traveling.

    Any idea how long the High St. entrance will be closed due to escalator repair?

    MTA says until “end of April.”

    Just a note that Google and the MTA and I’m sure several others have REALLY good software to use in situations like these. We’re all creatures of habit, and sometimes “the shortest route” (usually by time) is not at all intuitive. These apps even seem to gauge how long this or that route through the Fulton St. hub will add to one’s trip. They often recommend going AWAY from Manhattan (typically, to Atlantic Avenue from the Hts.) EVEN though one is looking to get someplace in Manhattan. Most of us don’t think of the Q – is it 10 years old? – as often as we should.

    As for that “end of April” guess, you’d think that the MTA would REALLY like to minimize the number of times a 4-week guess turns into 15 or 30, but it IS the MTA, so I’m comfortable offering 10-to-1 odds that come 5/15, there still will be pink tape at that particular “ground zero.”
