The pause is no small hiccup-it's the first of six planned weekend outages this fall. The Port Authority says crews will be busy installing and testing four new switches designed to improve train speed and flexibility, while also demolishing and rebuilding a Conrail freight bridge that looms over the PATH tracks. It might be painful in the short term, but it means smoother rides (and fewer bottlenecks) in the long run.
G train riders in Brooklyn and Queens will experience service disruptions starting Monday, with no service between Court Square and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues on select weeknights and weekends.
