Service changes on 10 subway lines due to weekend repairs

NEW YORK

Expect significant changes to the 2, 5, 6, A, C, E, F, G, N and R trains.

The MTA says the changes are needed due to capital construction work that is part of NYC Transit's ongoing Capital Rebuilding Program aimed at upgrading and maintaining tracks, stations and signal systems.

Customers who rely on these lines should allow for additional travel time.
