More work to be done this time with the suspension cables....

BTW look for the "noticeable" mistake regarding one of the lines...

Can you say Delta to 34th?

Not the suspension cables; the suspender cables. These are the cables from the main suspension cables that attach to the roadway.

it will be like this:

"Q" local via tunnel with "N" Canal St to Dekalb Av. this could happen on weekends and nights.

2 "D" services. One from Coney Island to 36th St. The second from 2nd Av to 205th St with either a shuttle train from Grand St or shuttle bus. This is weekend shutdown.

Does this seem right?

Yeah, it's only weekend work. I wonder why the Brooklyn Bridge isn't as troublesome as the Manny-B, but from what I heard, the Brooklyn Bridge is in poorer condition than the Manhattan Bridge does, which ranks in "fair" condition. (From a NYC bridge analysis report I saw on TV some tome ago, last year to be exact.)

The E to and from 34/6 (with one way direction along 63rd tunnel) was insane enough on weekends, this past week it also happened at 10 PM weeknights - - both express tracks are out meaning that FOUR lines (B, D, F and V) were all on the local track in each direction of travel for the next hour before B and V service would end for the night.

It might make more sense to turn the uptown Ds at Bway/Laff B3 tk like the Fs did pre Chrystie and have a single tk shuttle on B4 between Bway/Laff and Grand. That would eliminate the need for the Ds to use the Xover N/O W 4 St and it wouldn't interfere with the Fs. Continuing problems with the manny B are good reasons to build a transfer point between the Prince St station and Bway/Laff since they are so close anyhow.

Perhaps it'll be:

(M) suspended south of Chambers

The 'poor' rating for the Brooklyn bridge has more to do with roadway dimensions than anything else. The work being done for the Manhattan Bridge was done on the Brooklyn Bridge a few decades ago.

The roadways and decks, not the suspender cables. Once those are replaced, all that's original will be the towers, anchorages, and main cables.

Most likely:

D 205th to 34th
D Stilwell to 36th/Bklyn
N Via Montague
Q Via Montague, express north of Canal

That assumes that both sides are closed at the same time. If not:

North Side closure:

D's from Brooklyn routed to 57th/7th or Times Sq. via Broadway
D's from Bronx terminated at 34th.
N's Via Montague

South Side closure:

N&Q's Via Montague, Q's express north of Canal

Here's what I would do.

Weekdays:
B, D suspended in Brooklyn, operating from the Bronx to 34th Street.
M extended to Coney Island via West End.
N, Q operate via tunnel; N local, Q express north of Canal Street.
W suspended.

Weekends:
D suspended in Brooklyn, operating from the Bronx to 34th Street.
E, G operate local in Queens.
J terminates at Myrtle/Broadway
M extended to Coney Island via West End.
N, Q operate via tunnel; N local, Q express north of 34th Street.
R shuttle at all times between Bay Ridge and 36th Street/4th Avenue.

All Times:
Shuttle operates between Grand Street and West 4th Street.

Not with the N, R, and Q already going through Montague under that scenario. Sending the W down to help the M on the West End would result in 5 services between Broad/Whitehall Sts. and Dekalb Av. Combine all that with slow switching maneuvers and timers at both ends, and you got yourself a nice big logjam at rush hour.

It would make more sense from me to have the D run eight 60-foot cars and terminate at Essex on the weekends. This would benefit J riders heading to upper Manhattan and the Bronx, who would be able to make one less transfer in doing so.

Actually, as said in another post, have the Manhattan D's be eight 60-footers and have those run to Essex instead of 2nd Avenue. That would allow for J riders to get a transfer they normally don't have, at least for those weekends.

Those could potentially also double as a test, perhaps having the D in this setup even go to Metropolitan for a few weekends (replacing the M in Brooklyn and Queens) in this split as an experiment.

What I would be doing is an experiment to take advantage of the split D service if that were to be done.

I wonder if they would also look at having the D run the route it did in the early '80s when the Bridge was out and use the Chrystie connection via essex to get to Coney Island via Montauge?

It's not possible to do all that work at once. You need heavy equipment to to the deck and support beam jobs; you need a good amount of redundancy to replace suspenders. If they replaced the suspenders and depended on other suspenders connected to failing roadway members, you end up with catastrophe.

If you have to shut down the bridge for anything, you might as well shut it down for everything. I can't see how it is impossible to do the entire job at once. All it takes is intelligence which it is obvious that nobody in any of the city or state government has.

Lol government and intelligence in the same sentence? Never gonna happen. Government is a big money waster. 'Do the bare minimum' = 'costly overruns'

It's physics and engineering, not intelligence.

Lift 100lbs, and hold it above your head for 15 seconds.

Now, do the same thing, but shift the weight so the majority of it is on your left side instead of even.

A lot harder to hold it up now, isn't it?

Next, do it with just one arm.

That's about as basic an explanation as I can give you for what the job entails.

Oh, and do the job wrong, and you have even more problems. After all the suspenders are replaced, they then need to be 'tuned'.

Plus the W doesn't run weekends and the M is only a shuttle on weekends. I guess you can run the W anyway on weekend although I wouldn't advice it as it will confuse people. The M likeley would not be able to be extended on weekends due to normal GO's on the J.

The OP clearly stated that the service adjustments were to be weekends only!

Finally somebody must have read the article...

The Bway-Lafayette to Prince transfer would be nice, however since it is just as easy to use the downtown 6 to Canal, the costs of building the transfer are not worth it.
