3 Subway Lines To Have Service Changes Later This Month: See Where

NEW YORK CITY — Subway service will be significantly disrupted on the 4, 5, and 6 trains for two consecutive weekends this month so the MTA can replace tracks along the Lexington Avenue line.

Service will be suspended south of Grand Central-42 St during the weekends of Aug. 15-18 and Aug. 22-25. Crews will replace the concrete under switches north of 14 Street, which will renew the infrastructure to keep it in a state of good repair and continue to provide reliable service for 1.1 million daily riders.

The service suspensions will begin Friday at 11:30 p.m. and end 5 a.m. Monday.

During the closures, 4 trains will not run between Grand Central-42 St and Crown Hts-Utica Av or New Lots Av. The 4 will instead run local between Woodlawn in the Bronx and Grand Central-42 St.

5 trains will not run between E. 180 St and Bowling Green and will run only north of E 180 St to and from Eastchester-Dyre Av.

6 trains will not run between Grand Central-42 St and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. But will run local between Pelham Bay Park and Grand Central-42 St.
