NEW YORK CITY - The MTA said the G train could be shut down for over six weeks during the summer to upgrade the century-old systems.
This is part of a multi-billion dollar plan to modernize the signal system across lettered lines.
The MTA has proposed dates of three sets of 24-hour, seven-day disruptions over six weeks during the summer.
The proposed dates are:
- June 28-July 5: No service 24/7 between Court Square and Greenpoint Avenue
- July 5-Aug. 12: No service between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand
- Aug. 12-Sept. 2: No service between Bedford-Nostrand and Hoyt-Schemerhorn
During the shutdown, the MTA will run shuttle buses along the G line's routes.
