Transit Stuff
BQE Interim Repair Overnight Closures this week Tuesday through Saturday from 1am-5am. One lane in each direction will be closed. While much needed long-term repairs to the triple cantilever section will no longer be rammed through without community input, our ability to conduct any significant infrastructure work will be limited by the federal government taking literally any opportunity to strip transportation funding from the state and city.
Overnight the Q will be running every 30 minutes between Atlantic/Barclays Tuesday-Thursday from midnight to 5:00.
No 2 train will be running between Chambers and Atlantic/Barclays Monday-Wednesday from 11:30-5:00.
