Why we're doing it
We're replacing switches at and around Marcy Av that have reached the end of their useful life. These switches are essential for trains to move between the local and express tracks on the lines, but haven't been replaced since the 1990s. While we do this, some essential track, bridge inspection, and other work will be completed as well.
