G Line Modernization Project Enters Phase 3

By Williamsburg 365 Staff

The MTA has been upgrading the G Line Subway, which accommodates 160,000 riders daily, with a new signal system to enhance speed and reliability. 

This led to temporary shutdowns last month. As construction progresses into phase three, service will be restored between Court Sq and Bedford-Nostrand Avs.   

Starting at 4:00 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 12,  through 5:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the G Line will be closed between Bedford-Nostrand Avs and Church Av.

“We appreciate customers’ understanding as we work to modernize a signal system,” said MTA Construction & Development President Jamie Torres-Springer. “And we’re delivering this project better, faster, and cheaper with phased outages…”

Extensive shuttle bus service will run in place of​​ train service, with buses stopping at all ​​ stations where train service is suspended. 

On weekdays, the shuttle will run every 1 to 4 minutes during the day and every 5 to 10 minutes during the evening and night. On Sundays, the service will run every 3 to 5 minutes during the day and 6 to 10 minutes at night.
