Straphangers will face service changes across much of the New York City subway system when traversing the five boroughs this weekend, according to the MTA.
Only the F, M, Q, 1, and 6 trains, along with the Franklin Av and Rockaway Park Shuttles, are unaffected by changes from late Friday night through early Monday morning. Most other lines will see a slew of reroutes, skipped stops, and express to local switches over the first post-holiday weekend of the year.
The MTA is making the changes to perform construction projects such as installing new signal systems and replacing and repairing tracks.
Here’s the rundown of all the major subway service disruptions scheduled between Friday night, Jan. 9, and early Monday morning, Jan. 12.
