MTA Will Shut Down B, D, F, M Lines Overnight This Week
Riders should plan for an alternate overnight route as FASTrack repairs are being made on the Sixth Avenue line.
FASTrack, the MTA’s plan to shut down subway service entirely on some lines while repairs are being made, will return to make life harder for late-night commuters on the Sixth Avenue B, D, F and M lines beginning tonight, May 14.
From Monday through Friday, between the hours of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. each night, service on the B, D, F and M lines will be suspended between 57th Street and West 4th Street in Manhattan, in both directions.
