Sunday subway riders, heads up. If you’re traveling on the A, C, N, F, or R lines today, the MTA has active service changes that will affect your route. Here’s your quick-scan guide to what’s running — and what isn’t — so you can plan before you head out.
What Lines Are Affected
A & C Lines — Lower Manhattan Disruption
Active now through 5 a.m. Monday
A and C trains are running on the F line in both directions between West 4th Street–Washington Square and Jay St–MetroTech due to track maintenance. This is a significant reroute affecting riders heading into lower Manhattan.
- For Spring Street, Canal Street, Chambers Street (World Trade Center): Take the E train instead.
- For Fulton Street: Take the J train or use the nearby World Trade Center E station.
- For High Street: Use the nearby York Street F station.
A Line — Ozone Park / Lefferts Boulevard Disruption
Active through 10 p.m. Sunday
A trains are not running between Rockaway Boulevard and Ozone Park–Lefferts Boulevard. Trains to and from Ozone Park–Lefferts Boulevard are rerouting to and from Howard Beach–JFK Airport instead.
- Manhattan-bound A trains are skipping Rockaway Boulevard and 88th Street.
- If you need those stops, check MTA bus alternatives or allow extra travel time.
N Line — Queens–Manhattan Gap
Active now through 5 a.m. Monday
N trains are not running between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square–42nd Street due to track replacement work. The N is running in two separate sections: Astoria–Ditmars Boulevard to Queensboro Plaza, and Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue to Times Square–42nd Street.
- To travel between Queens and Midtown Manhattan, take the 7 train.
- The 7 runs frequently on Sundays and serves Times Square, Grand Central, and Queens Boulevard.
F & R Lines — Queens Plaza Reroute
All day Saturday and Sunday
R trains are running on the F line via Roosevelt Island between 36th Street and 57th Street–Seventh Avenue in both directions due to track replacement work.
- For Queens Plaza, take the E train.
- R train riders in this corridor should expect longer travel times and possible crowding on the F.
Commuter Tip
Sunday travel hack: With the N, A/C, and R all running modified service today, the 7 train and E train are your most reliable fallbacks for Queens-to-Manhattan trips. The 7 runs frequently on Sundays and serves Times Square, Grand Central, and Queens Boulevard. Download the free MTA TrainTime app for real-time tracking and push alerts before you leave home.
Planning Ahead: Service Restores Monday
All of today’s disruptions are expected to clear by 5 a.m. Monday, so your Monday morning commute should run on regular schedules. If you’re an early Monday commuter traveling before 5 a.m., factor in possible overlap.
