Most of the heavy weekend track work that scrambled rides from Friday night through Monday at 5 a.m. has been packed up. The 1, 2, F, L, and G lines all returned to their regular weekday patterns for Monday’s rush, and Tuesday morning should look close to normal across the system. A few overnight pockets of work and the usual signal-related delays are still worth watching before you head to the platform.
What Lines Are Affected Tuesday
- 1 train: Full weekday service is restored between Van Cortlandt Park-242 St and South Ferry. The free shuttle buses on Broadway and St. Nicholas Av that ran during the Van Cortlandt Park to 168 St-Washington Hts station closure are no longer running. Expect a few extra minutes added to early-morning trains as crews finish wrap-up work near 191 St.
- 2 train: Service is back between Woodlawn-style Bronx terminals and Brooklyn. The weekend gap between Woodlawn and 161 St-Yankee Stadium is closed.
- F train: Brooklyn service between Church Av and Coney Island-Stillwell Av has resumed. Riders heading to Coney Island should plan as normal.
- L train: Trains are again running through between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs and Broadway Junction after the weekend electrical work. Overnight signal testing may still cause spot delays in the late-night hours.
- G train: Court Sq to Bedford-Nostrand Avs is back in service. The T403 shuttle buses that filled the gap over the weekend have wrapped up.
Borough-by-Borough Quick Look
Manhattan: Watch for residual slow zones on the 1 north of 96 St as crews finish station work. East Side service on the 4, 5, and 6 is running normally.
Bronx: The 2 and 5 are back on regular weekday patterns. The B and D are also running normally after weekend split service.
Brooklyn: The F and G are back to normal. Watch the L for spotty late-night delays as electrical work continues overnight in pockets.
Queens: The 7, E, F, M, R, and N/W are running their usual weekday schedules. The Roosevelt Av transfer at Jackson Heights is busy first thing in the morning thanks to commuters who shifted to the bus over the weekend — give yourself an extra few minutes if you’re connecting there.
Staten Island: Staten Island Railway is on its standard weekday schedule. The Staten Island Ferry continues at its regular Tuesday rush frequency.
What’s Coming Up
The MTA generally posts the next weekend’s planned work bulletin late Wednesday or Thursday. We’ll have a full breakdown for the May 1-3 weekend in Friday’s Subway Service Update. If you ride the G regularly, keep an eye on the broader 2026 G line service plan, which includes additional shutdown weekends later in the spring for signal modernization.
