The final service plan hasn't been decided yet, AFAIK. What's definite is that, at the request of the Port Authority, NYCT will cut off subway service between Chambers Street and South Ferry to allow the Port Authority to do some heavy-duty construction around the subway tunnel in ground zero. This will last for approximately six weeks over the summer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.It's possible the (1) may go to both New Lots Avenue AND Flatbush Avenue, with the (5) cut back to Bowling Green. There's even a slight, SLIGHT possibility of a temporary equipment swap, putting R-142s on the (1) and R-62A's on the (5), so that the (1) can have the digital signage necessary to easily reflect a different destination. Everything is subject to change for now. We'll know more later. |
