BROOKLYN — F and G train service between Boerum Hill and Windsor Terrace will be suspended overnight next week for maintenance work and repairs, the MTA said.

The Fastrack repairs will take place between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. from Monday, Sept. 12, to early Friday morning Sept. 16. F and G trains will skip the following Brooklyn stations in both directions during this time:

► Bergen Street 
► Carroll Street
► Smith-9th Streets
► Fourth Avenue
► 15th Street-Prospect Park
► Fort Hamilton Parkway 

During these times, F trains will run express between Jay Street-MetroTech and Church Avenue in both directions, stopping only at 7th Avenue in Park Slope.

G train service will be suspended between Church Avenue and Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets in both directions.

G trains will instead operate in two sections: from Court Square to Bedford-Nostrand Avenues and from Bedford-Nostrand to Hoyt-Schermerhorn. Transfers will be available at Bedford-Nostrand.

Free shuttle buses will run from Jay Street to Church Avenue, with stops at all subway stations.

Transfers will be available between G and A trains at Hoyt-Schermerhorn and between A and F trains at Jay Street.

Fastrack, an MTA program that began in 2012, suspends service for four straight weeknights to allow for maintenance work on tunnels, stations and tracks.
