Emergency repairs are underway beneath Central Park West after transit workers discovered cracks in the trackbed during routine weekend maintenance, forcing major service changes on four subway lines Monday.<\/p>\n
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority halted downtown local service on the A, B, C and D lines between 125th Street and 59th Street-Columbus Circle. <\/p>\n
Repairs are taking place at 81st Street and Central Park West, where workers found the damage beneath the tracks.<\/p>\n
Downtown B and C trains are running express through the affected area, bypassing all local stations. The MTA suspended B train service entirely in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan through the end of Monday.<\/p>\n
Uptown service on all four lines continues with delays, though B and C trains are making their regular local stops in that direction.<\/p>\n
The MTA said crews are working continuously to install a temporary fix and restore normal service. The agency plans to schedule permanent repairs later but has not announced when the emergency work will be finished.<\/p>\n
The disruptions affect thousands of commuters who rely on the busy transit corridor through the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emergency repairs are underway beneath Central Park West after transit workers discovered cracks in the trackbed during routine…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-335771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
