What we're doing
On the weekends of August 15-18 and 22-25, there will be no service south of Grand Central-42 St and no service south of E 180 St because of track replacement.
Other service changes may also affect your trip. Check planned service changes or service status, or use the MTA app for more information.
You can also sign up for real-time service alerts and for the MTA Weekender, a newsletter sent every Friday that sends weekend service change highlights directly to your inbox.
Why we're doing it
We’re replacing concrete under the switches north of 14 St on the Lexington Avenue Line, which carries the trains in Manhattan. This will improve switch function and keep the track in a state of good repair, helping us continue to deliver reliable service to the over 1.1 million riders who rely on the Lexington Avenue Line each day.
