This weekend, late Friday evening, July 19 to early Monday morning, July 22, will be a repeat of last weekend. There will be no service at the 4/5 platforms at Borough Hall, as 4 service to and from Brooklyn will be suspended and 5 trains do not serve Brooklyn on weekends. 2 and 3 trains should be running normally and, for those traveling to and from Brooklyn, 3 trains will be making all the stops from Franklin Avenue-Medgar Evers College to New Lots Avenue normally served only by 4 trains. The reason for the 4 train suspension is that the MTA is installing an ADA compliant elevator at Borough Hall. Access to the 2/3 platforms at Borough Hall will not be affected. 2 trains will be running on a reduced schedule; every 12 minutes.
The following work week, Monday morning, July 22 through Friday evening, July 26, there is minimal disruption to service at local stations. Late nights Monday to Tuesday through Thursday to Friday there will be no Manhattan bound N train service at Court Street or at the N/R platforms at Jay Street-MetroTech, as Manhattan bound N trains will be re-routed to the Q line between DeKalb Avenue in Brooklyn and Canal Street in Manhattan. However, R trains should be running normally in both directions, as should Brooklyn bound N trains.
These are the PLANNED changes affecting local service 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.
