The MTA will expand weekend service on the J line, so straphangers can ride the entire route from eastern Queens to Broad St. in lower Manhattan, officials said.

Funding for the service increase is included in the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s updated financial plans, which executives will unveil next week.

On weekdays, the J runs between Jamaica Center/Parsons Archer in Queens, and Broad St.

On weekends, however, it doesn’t go below Chambers St., thereby depriving riders of the many transfer options available at the Fulton Center subway complex, said Andrew Albert, chairman of the New York City Transit Riders Council.

“It will run the full route, and that’s good news,” Albert said. “I’ve been harping about this for years. They’re finally doing it.”

Could be early 2015.
