Service Changes Coming For 10 Subway Lines This Weekend
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Commuters this weekend will hit a snag on 10 subway lines around the city.
The reroutes and service changes planned for the weekend are prompted by renovations and upgrades to stations and trackage.
• The No. 3 and 4 trains will not stop at the Rockaway Avenue or Van Siclen Avenue stations in Brooklyn, as both are closed for renovation.
• In addition, New Lots Avenue-bound No. 4 trains will skip the 116th Street, 110th Street, 103rd Street, 96th Street, 77th Street, 68th Street, and 51st Street stations in East Harlem, on the Upper East Side and in Midtown East.

• Inwood/207th Street-bound A trains will run express through the weekend from Canal Street to 145th Street, rather than running local in the overnight hours as usual. The Ozone Park-bound A Train platform at 111th Street in Queens, and the Ozone Park-Far Rockaway-bound platform at 80th Street in Queens, are also closed for renovation.
• Northbound C trains are also running local from Canal Street to 145th Street.
