Last weekend, the MTA had planned to suspend F and G train service between Jay Street-MetroTech and Church Avenue in Brooklyn. But at the last minute, post-traumatic snow phobia gave local residents a reprieve, and the work was rescheduled to... this weekend! From 11:30 p.m. Friday to 5 a.m. Monday, January 17th, free shuttle buses will replace F and G service between those two stops. An MTA spokesperson explains that the subway service is being suspended because they just like messing with your head. Kidding, it's for a really important reason!

It's all part of the big Culver Viaduct rehabilitation project, which will necessitate closing the Smith-9th Streets Station entirely from late May 2011 through Spring 2012. Please be patient!!! Oh, and don't forget—starting Monday at 5 a.m., there will be no Manhattan-bound F or Queens-bound G service at 15th Street-Prospect Park and Ft. Hamilton Parkway Stations, and no Manhattan-bound F service at Smith-9th Streets Station. Queens-bound G service will stop at the station at a temporary platform. Irksome details here.
