Tuesday morning commuters, here’s what you need to know before you tap in. The weekend work wrapped up Monday at 5 a.m., G train riders are back to normal service on the Court Sq-to-Bedford-Nostrand stretch, and the system is running largely on schedule. But a few midweek and upcoming weekend changes are worth planning around — especially if you’re heading to JFK or riding the 3 line in Brooklyn.
What Lines Are Affected Today
G Train — Back to Normal Daytime Service
Good news for Brooklyn and Queens riders: the G train is running its full route between Court Sq and Church Av today after the weekend shutdown ended Monday at 5 a.m. Expect normal rush-hour frequencies. That said, the G line is in the middle of a multi-month signal modernization in 2026. Nighttime service between Court Sq and Bedford-Nostrand Avs continues to be suspended from 9:45 p.m. to 5 a.m. on most weeknights, with free T403 shuttle buses bridging the gap.
E Train to JFK — Double-Check Your Stop
E service to Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport has had intermittent disruptions tied to the broader Queens signal work. If JFK is on your schedule, verify in the MTA app before you swipe in. The A train to Howard Beach-JFK Airport remains the most reliable subway-to-AirTrain connection on days when the E is affected.
3 Train — Upcoming Weekend Heads-Up
Plan ahead for riders along the Utica Avenue corridor: recent weekends have seen the 3 train suspended between Crown Heights-Utica Avenue and New Lots Avenue for track replacement, with free B99 shuttle buses filling in. Check the MTA weekender map for the April 24-27 weekend before you commit to plans in East New York or Brownsville.
Other Lines Running Normally
As of this morning, the 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, A, B, C, D, F, J, L, M, N, Q, R, and W are reporting normal service. The 2 train Bronx gap from earlier in April has been resolved. Always worth a quick glance at mta.info/alerts before you head out — small incidents can pop up without notice.
Borough-by-Borough Quick Read
- Manhattan: All lines normal. Grand Central and Penn Station running on schedule.
- Brooklyn: G train fully restored. Watch 3 train for weekend work starting Friday night.
- Queens: E train JFK stop intermittent — confirm before traveling. 7 train normal.
- Bronx: 2, 4, 5, 6 running normally. No major disruptions.
- Staten Island: SIR on regular schedule. Staten Island Ferry every 15-30 minutes.
Tap OMNY for every ride this week. The 7-day fare cap kicks in automatically after 12 rides in a rolling 7-day period — meaning the rest of the week is free. If you’re still on MetroCard, the MTA is phasing it out in 2026, and OMNY is the only option that triggers the auto-cap. Link your OMNY to a credit card or load a OMNY card at any station vending machine.
Looking Ahead — Weekend of April 24-27
The MTA typically announces the full weekender map by Wednesday. Based on current project timelines, expect continued G train night work, potential 3 train track replacement in Brooklyn, and possible F or A service shifts related to the ongoing Queens signal upgrades. Bookmark the Planned Weekend Work page and check it Thursday night before your weekend plans lock in.
