About the project
Since the implementation of communications-based train control, the has been one of the most reliable, smoothest-running lines in the subway system. This work will help modernize the customer experience along the in Queens to meet the standard set by the service provided. These projects will improve the experience of traveling on the , and will create a more accessible system for all New Yorkers.
We are closely coordinating the schedules of these projects to maximize the efficiency of track outages and minimize the impact to our customers.

What to expect
Wherever you ride on the , you'll likely see service changes as a result of this work.
Our goal is to minimize the impact of these changes by working on projects up and down the line at the same time, maintaining service as close to normal for as many riders as we can.
Not every project has specific dates yet. Throughout the project, service notices will be posted in stations, in the Planned Service Changes tool, and in the MTA app.
