G Train Shutdowns are Going to Raise Some Hell This Summer

"We're trying to minimize impact, but the reality is when you shut down, you have impacts. We're going to work with the electeds in the community to try to do it at the optimal time, but there's no perfect time."

The G train will experience service shutdowns for all four weekends in June, along with additional closures in August, September, and December. City Councilman Lincoln Restler noted that these disruptions could lead to nearly 40% of weekends without service by the end of 2026. The MTA attributes these shutdowns to ongoing modernization efforts, including signal upgrades and 5G installations. MTA chair Janno Lieber acknowledged the challenges of minimizing impacts during these necessary service interruptions.
