NEW YORK CITY — Brooklyn and Manhattan will finally be fully connected again by subway in time for Friday's rush hour.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday afternoon that the R train will be fully operational for the morning commute, nearly two months after service was disrupted by Hurricane Sandy. Straphangers had been forced to take alternate routes after the heavily-used line was badly flooded. 

The line will be restored, according to Cuomo, between the Jay Street-Metro Tech station  in Brooklyn and Manhattan's Whitehall Street station.
