Here's When The L Won't Run Between Manhattan And BK In 2020

L TRAIN CORRIDOR, NYC — The MTA's year-long rehab project on the L train's Canarsie tunnel will soon come to a close, but not before a final construction push that will switch up service over the next few months.

Transit officials have announced the official L train service schedule for January, February and March, the three months before the massive construction project is scheduled to be done in April.

The schedule will for the most part stay the same as it has been for the past year — with L trains running every 20 minutes on nights and weekends — except for three weekends when the trains won't stop at certain stations.

The weekend likely to cause the biggest headache for straphangers will be March 20 through 23, when L trains won't run all the way from Eighth Avenue station to Broadway Junction station, or the majority of the L line.

The other two weekends, Jan. 17 through 20 and Feb. 14 through 18, transit officials will cut service only for a few stops in Brooklyn.

The three weekends will let construction crews connect power to three new substations and finish station improvement work in Brooklyn. The final service schedule has less service cuts than the MTA had originally thought it needed to do the work, officials said.

Here are the details about the three weekends:

Jan. 17 to 20 weekend: No service in Brooklyn between Lorimer St and Broadway Junction, work includes:

• At Bedford Av, deliver new elevator equipment, as well as progress track wall tile, signal testing and platform structural work with the extended work area
• At Bushwick Av-Aberdeen St Station, complete platform work with new tactile strips on both platforms and final fixes to the platform edges
• At Halsey St, repair steel columns and make platform and wall repairs throughout the station
• At Morgan Av, repair structural beams and make platform and wall repairs throughout the station
• At DeKalb Av, make platform and wall repairs throughout the station

Feb. 14 to 18 weekend (Presidents' Day included): No service in Brooklyn between Lorimer St and Broadway Junction, work includes:

• At Bedford Av, progress track wall painting and tile installation and removing temporary power conduits and cables with the extended work area
• At Bushwick Av-Aberdeen St Station, make final repairs throughout the station and start final inspections
• At Halsey St, continue steel column repairs and start final inspections
• At Morgan Av, continue structural beam repairs and start final inspections
• At DeKalb Av, continue minor repair work to platforms and walls throughout the station and start final inspections

March 20 to 23 weekend: No service from 8 Av to Broadway Junction, work includes:

• Connect negative and positive feeder cables from the new Avenue B substation to the circuit breaker house to both Q1 and Q2 tracks
• Connect power cables from the new Maspeth Avenue and Harrison Place substations in Brooklyn to the tracks, following the prior successful energization of low tension electric service
• Restore the contact rail section gap at Bedford Av on both Q1 and Q2 tracks
• Install negative equalizers between Q1 and Q2 tracks
• Cutover the radio antenna cables to the new system on both Q1 and Q2 tracks
• Complete the new emergency alarm and telephone system cutover from the old system for both Q1 and Q2 tracks
• Complete final inspections for Bushwick Av-Aberdeen St, Halsey St, Morgan Av and DeKalb Av Stations for accessibility and station platform renewal project

There will be free shuttle buses during all three weekends.

On the January and February weekends, there will be one shuttle running between Broadway Junction and Myrtle Avenue and another between Myrtle Avenue and Lorimer Street.

In March, there will be three free shuttle buses, including a loop between Lorimer Street and Marcy Avenue, between Lorimer Street and Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues and between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs and Broadway Junction.
