Posted by Gold_12TH on Sat Nov 12 11:46:57 2011, in response to MTA overnight fixes in 2012 will shut down Manhattan subway lines for up to 4 days in a row, posted by Gold_12TH on Sat Nov 12 09:22:58 2011. Sources: MTA Plans To Close Multiple Subway Lines On Weeknights For RepairsBig chunks of subway lines could see overnight weeknight shutdowns to allow for repairs. Sources confirmed Saturday that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority wants to close sections of some lines, mostly in Manhattan, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for three or four nights in a row. It would be done to allow for simultaneous inspections and repairs every few months. A transit source said that it's a worthwhile tradeoff to get more done at once rather than a piecemeal approach. The impact would be mostly below 42nd Street since there are multiple parallel lines to give late night commuters more options. It's still unclear how much the plan would affect the long list of changes straphangers typically deal with on weekends. MTA officials say they will provide more details on Monday. ---- http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/150660/sources--mta-plans-to-close-multiple-subway-lines-on-weeknights-for-repairs |
