In total, the reconstruction and repair will be carried out at eight stations in Manhattan and the Bronx, reports Time-out.

Work will take place at 34-th Street – Penn Station; at stops F and M on 23-rd Street; at Sixth stop on 28-th Street; at stop F on 57-th Street; at the Third stop on 145-th Street; at stops B and D on 167-th Street and 174-th – 175-th Streets.

In total, these stops on average on weekdays serve more than 250 000 passengers, according to the 2016 data of the year. The total cost of repairs will exceed 200 million dollars, and the deadlines for the stations have not yet been made public. Last year, similar work at three stops of R trains in Brooklyn led to the closure of stations for six months.

At the moment it is known that repair work at the 34th Street – Penn Station will be carried out without closing the stations, the remaining six stations will be closed to passengers, possibly for several months.

More detailed information on the closure time of stations is expected in the coming months.
