January 27 to 31 on the 2 Subway Line Icon3 Subway Line Icon4 Subway Line Icon2 Subway Line Icon and 4 Subway Line Icon – trains operate express service only between Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and Franklin Av; 3 Subway Line Icon service ends early in Brooklyn each night.

The FASTRACK program involves devoting four straight weeknights to perform maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks, completely suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. This gives free access to the system, allowing an army of maintenance workers to perform dozens of tasks without the concern of having to “clear up” to allow trains to pass.
These FASTRACK efforts have been designed around the careful determination that there is adequate alternate means of transportation, including enhanced services along some bus lines during work periods. When a line segment is closed at night, customers can expect to add 20 minutes to their usual travel time. Alternative transportation options will be detailed in announcements and posters on trains, in stations and on selected buses; brochures will be available in both English and Spanish. Information will also be available on the web at www.mta.info and through social media, email and text alerts.
