The number 7 train between Times Square and 74th Street/Roosevelt Avenue will be closed in both directions this weekend.
Service will be down from 2 a.m. Saturday through 4:30 a.m. Monday, the MTA said.
The MTA said that it will be providing two free shuttle services this weekend. One shuttle bus will pick up riders at stations between 74th Street/Roosevelt and Queensboro Plaza. Riders will then be directed to take the N train.
The second shuttle bus will take riders from Vernon Blvd/Jackson Avenue through to Queensboro Plaza. Riders will be directed to take the N train.
The service disruptions are due to the ongoing construction taking place along the 7 line, which is expected to end in 2017.

7 TRAIN = OVERTIME CASH COW.
Help cleanup our ‘hood!

Who cares? I don’t think the MTA has ever met any of their deadlines.
It took a little over 4 years to build the Golden Gate Bridge.
In the amount of time the MTA has been “working” and will continue to “work” on the No. 7 line, we could have had a brand new subway system.
That’s what I’ve read as well
Track work on the 7 line may stretch to 2017 but aren’t the LIC to Manhattan disruptions ending in 2015? Can anyone else confirm?
SWEET!
