Bronx<\/a> 4 and 5 trains that took effect on Monday and will run through late February, the MTA announced.\n<\/p>\nThe MTA is making the adjustments so its crews can replace 37-year-old switches that move trains safely between the Bronx and Manhattan, according to the agency. The work is aimed at reducing dealys and improving service for roughly 1.1 million straphangers.<\/p>\n
Once installed, the new switches are expected to last for 20 years, the MTA said on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n
As of this past Monday, 4 trains are operating in two sections, between Woodlawn and 149 St\u2013Grand Concourse in the Bronx, and the Bronx\u2019s 3rd Ave\u2013138 St 6 train station and New Lots Av in Brooklyn. They are making all local stops in Manhattan.<\/p>\n
The changes are in effect weeknights between 11:45 p.m. and 5 a.m. until Feb. 20.\n<\/p>\n
The same switch-up will take place on five consecutive weekends between Jan. 23 and Feb. 23. They will begin around 9:45 p.m. on Fridays and run until 5 a.m. on Mondays \u2014 except for Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, where the changes will last until 5 a.m. on Tuesday instead.<\/p>\n
On those weekends, 5 trains will function as a shuttle between Eastchester\u2013Dyre Av and E 180 St. in the Bronx.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Although most 4 and 5 trains will run regular weekday service during the same period, some 4 trains will be rerouted to 3 Av\u2013138 St and some 6 trains will run on the 2 line between 149 St\u2013Grand Concourse and Nevins St during rush hour. Those changes will occur between Monday, Jan. 26, and Friday, Feb. 20.<\/p>\n
The MTA will run free shuttle buses between 149 St\u2013Grand Concourse and 3 Av\u2013138 St over the weekends when its crews are conducting the work.\n<\/p>\n
The agency is also urging riders to take the 2 or D train or Metro North Railroad\u2019s Hudson or Harlem lines in the Bronx \u2014 where fares will be cross-honored \u2014 as alternatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 4 train at Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx.
