Evening and overnight R train service suspended for portions of next week

More R train headaches are on track next week for straphangers.

For four evenings, from Monday, January 15 through Thursday, January 18, the R train will not run between Bay Ridge-95th Street and 36th Street from 9:45  to 11:45 p.m. due to track maintenance.

But that’s just the beginning, because, in addition, beginning at 11:45 p.m. and lasting until 5 a.m., there will be no R train service at all from Monday, January 15 through Friday, January 19, also because of track maintenance.

During the R service disruption, for the 45th Street, 53rd Street and 59th Street stops, passengers can take the N, transferring at 36th Street.

For those who are Bay Ridge bound, free shuttle buses will make all R stops between 59th Street and Bay Ridge-95th Street. Transfer between the N and shuttle buses at 59th Street.

For service between Whitehall Street and 59th Street during the overnight hours, take the N train.
