NEW YORK CITY — Subway service changes will affect 11 train lines this weekend, including major disruptions along the G and M lines, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said.
With eight stations closed on the G line, and service suspended between Middle Village and Myrtle Avenue on the M, passengers in parts of Brooklyn and Queens should be prepared for long trips. Additionally, Hurricane Sandy recovery work and the installation of a drain pipe in Times Square will take its toll on the N and R.
Here is a line-by-line breakdown:
4 Train: Utica Avenue and New Lots Avenue-bound trains will run local from Grand Central-42nd Street to Brooklyn Bridge — from 12:01 a.m. on Saturday until 5 a.m. Monday.
