NEW YORK — Trains on 10 subway lines will be hampered by service changes this weekend, compounded by a series of weekend events including the Puerto Rican Day Parade and other festivals, the MTA said.
The 2, 5, 6, A, C, E, F, G, M, N and R trains will have modified service. Notably, E trains will run via the F line between 36th Street in Queens and the Second Avenue F station.
Read on for line-by-line details:
2 Train
From 3:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, the 2 line will operate in two sections due to track-panel installation taking place north of Gun Hill Road. One section will run between Flatbush Avenue and East 180th Street, rerouted to Dyre Avenue at East 180th; the other will run between East 180th Street and 241st Street.
5 Train
From 3:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, 5 train service will be suspended due to track-panel installation north of Gun Hill Road.

For service between 149th Street-Grand Concourse and Bowling Green, riders should take the 4 train instead.
6 Train
From noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, 116th Street station will be exit-only due to the 116th Street Festival.
