Q Trains Service Suspended In Brooklyn On Weeknights

PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS, BROOKLYN — The Q train will not run at night between the Barclays Center and Prospect Park for the next two weeks so that MTA workers can clean and repair the tracks.

Service will come to a halt between the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and Prospect Park stations between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. from Monday Sept. 11 to Friday Sept. 15 and again from Sept. 18 to Sept 22, according to the MTA.

Q trains will run in two sections between 96th Street in Manhattan and the Barclays Center and between Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue and Prospect Park. Free shuttle buses will connect the two stations and stop at Seventh Avenue in Park Slope.

All Q trains will also skip the Dekalb Avenue stop between 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and Brighton Beach-bound B trains service will end at Atlantic-Avenue-Barclays Center at 10 p.m.

The seven-hour stints of train-free track time will allow maintenance workers to replace faulty tracks, repair tunnel infrastructure and spruce up the stations with new signs, lights and a paint job, said the MTA in a statement.

The maintenance overhaul is part of the MTA FASTRACK program.
