New York. MTA to shut down ‘7’ train for 6 consecutive weekends

The 7 train will close for six consecutive weekends, starting at 12:15 am Saturday until 10 pm Sunday. This is just the first of the weekend closures happening between now and April.
The MTA says accessibility is a priority, although this closure will be a major inconvenience to the tens of thousands of people who rely on this line every day. Two elevators will be constructed at Queensboro Plaza, one at the station’s southern entrance and one between the mezzanine and the platforms.
The MTA says there will be even more upgrades to the station by the time construction is over, Subway riders aren’t the only ones will have to change their commutes.
Starting Sunday, drivers using the Holland Tunnel to New Jersey overnights will need to find a new route. The tunnel will close will be closed from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11:59 p.m.to 9 a.m. on Fridays.
This closure will be in place until 2025 so that crews can do repair work caused by Superstorm Sandy.
