BROOKLYN, NY - Brooklyn straphangers, heads up: G train weekend service changes loom for 2026 signal upgrades that could disrupt your commute. Service will end between Bedford-Nostrand Aves. and Church Ave. on select weekends in 2026, from 9:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, the MTA announced. The Crosstown Line's original signals, installed over 90 years ago, are well past their useful life, causing frequent delays for 160,000 daily passengers, NYC Transit says.
IT's Thanksgiving, and we are thankful for another completed station renovation here at church Avenue, said Lieber, who lives close by to the station. This is a busy station, folks. I'm going through it every day. The new ADA elevators are always the headline when we do these projects, but we did a ton of other work to upgrade the station.
Under the new plan, South Brooklyn riders can look forward to a faster, one-seat ride straight to Midtown Manhattan, making the daily trip from Red Hook, Atlantic Avenue and Sunset Park more direct than ever before. The Soundview line from the Bronx will also merge with the Rockaway route, giving Bronx riders a one-seat trip to the beach while helping fill ferries that once ran nearly empty.
