The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced that signal modernization work on the G line will resume this summer, necessitating nightly and weekend service diversions from July 14 to August 18. This $368 million project, updating the line's systems dating back to the 1930s, aims to improve reliability for 160,000 daily riders by implementing a new Communications-based Train Control (CBTC) system. Concurrently, the MTA will also refurbish station platforms and infrastructure. The G line will become the third line fully converted to CBTC, contributing to a better commuting experience for passengers.
The G train's signal modernization will continue this summer, leading to service diversions at night and on weekends, but enhancing reliability for daily riders.
