For signal modernization work, MTA New York City Transit will suspend A train service between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd from 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, until 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. Free T366 shuttle buses will replace service on this segment.
MTA New York City Transit will not run A trains between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd for nine days, from 12:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, until 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16. The suspension is due to signal modernization work on this segment.
Trains that normally run to Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd will run only as far as Howard Beach-JFK Airport. To travel to or from the 104th St, 111th St and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd stations, riders can take the free T366 shuttle bus throughout the suspension. The shuttle runs between Rockaway Blvd and Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd, with stops at 104th St and 111th St.
Riders transfer between the A train and the shuttle bus at the Rockaway Blvd station. Riders who need step-free travel should take the shuttle bus to the accessible Rockaway Blvd station. The A train, which connects Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, will run normally between Inwood-207 St and Far Rockaway-Mott Av or Howard Beach-JFK Airport.
The MTA said this is the first phase of introducing a communications-based train control (CBTC) system on the Fulton St/Liberty Av line (Jay St-MetroTech to Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd), where signal equipment installed in the 1930s remains in use. During the suspension, the switches and track near 104th St will also be replaced.
Information on planned work on other segments and real-time service status is available on the MTA app and on the "Planned Service Changes" page at mta.info.
