According to the Daily News, if the MTA board awards a $179 million contract to rebuild the Culver Viaduct at a meeting tomorrow, it can mean shuttle buses for riders between the Smith-9th Sts. and 4th Ave.-9th St. stations. The Culver Viaduct is the crumbling concrete and steel structure above local streets and the Gowanus Canal.
A NYC Transit presentation to Community Board 6 last year indicates that service options will change along the corridor as work progresses.
Depending on the phase, some riders will have to take shuttle buses or double-back and take a train south to another station and catch a northbound ride.
The first impact, Cafiero said, would be a benefit. Starting in the fall, the G train’s route will be extended deeper into Brooklyn to Church Ave.
In a much needed glimmer of good news for the MTA, the contract to be approved by board Wednesday is $62.5 million less than originally estimated.
