Q Trains To Stop Running At These Brooklyn Stations Weekend Nights

BROOKLYN, NY — Track upgrades on the Q line could screw up plans for late-night straphangers in Brooklyn the next few summer weekends, according to the MTA.

A renovation project from the MTA will stop Q trains from running overnight between Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and Prospect Park stations for five weekends in a row, the agency announced on Monday.

Straphangers have already been taking shuttles between the two stations on weeknights because of the work.

The weekend service changes will start this Friday and are set to last between 11:45 p.m. and 5 a.m. each weekend night until Monday, August 15.

The disruption will let crews work on a tunnel that runs under Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The MTA is working on signal improvements, LED light installation, track replacement, third rail protection and other upgrades that will help reinforce water infiltration, officials said.

Here's a look at the service changes:

• Coney Island-bound Q trains operate via the N line between Atlantic Ave.-Barclays Ctr and Stillwell Ave., non-stop between 59 St and Stillwell Ave.

• Manhattan-bound Q trains will operate via the D line from Stillwell Ave. to Atlantic Ave-Barclays Ctr, making stops at Bay Pkwy, 62 St-New Utrecht Ave., 9 Ave. and 36 St.

• Q shuttle trains will operate between Prospect Park and Stillwell Ave.

• Buses will operate between Atlantic Ave. and Prospect Park
