Subway Delays, Due to Fire, Switching Problems

A four-alarm fire that destroyed at least 12 businesses in the Bronx has also caused some transit issues. Smoke at the Pelham Parkway 2 station is causing the 2 to bypass all stations between Wakefield-241st and East 180th, bypassing Gun Hill Road, Burke Avenue, Allerton Avenue, Pelham Parkway and Bronx Park East. The MTA says there are shuttle buses between stations and also suggests riders take other buses for the B, D, 4 and 6 trains.

The fire, at Lydig and White Plains Road, had damaged a roof, possibly causing it to collapse. No injuries have been reported yet.

And there are also delays along the L, due to an "ongoing switching problem at the Bedford Avenue Station." As there are no alternatives for the L, MTA wishes riders will be even more patient.
