'A' Train Won't Run Through Most Of Wash Heights For Next 3 Weekends

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — For those uptowners planning weekend travels for the foreseeable future, you might have to change your logistics as the 'A' train won't be running through the majority of Washington Heights for the next three weekends.

Due to accessibility improvement work in the stations, there will be no 'A' train service between 168th Street and 207th Street on March 31 to April 3, April 7 to 10, and April 14 to 17.

That means the 'A' train will not be stopping from Friday at 9:45 p.m. to Monday at 5 a.m. at 175th Street, 181st Street, 190th Street, or Dyckman Street.

For alternatives, the MTA suggests taking the free shuttle buses or the 1 train.

The shuttle buses will run along Broadway between 168th and 207th streets, and on Fort Washington Avenue between 168th and 190th streets.

"Whhhyyyy," one uptowner asked in a community Facebook group post about the upcoming loss of 'A' train service.

"Time to take the 1," another person wrote.
