…for now. The Brooklyn Paper reports that the track work that has required the complete shut down of the line has been reduced for the winter. But it’s too soon to celebrate: the work that’s being done is part of a project that will continue over the next 2-3 years.
The $250-million Culver Viaduct construction project, which is the true source for all the weekend inconvenience, is far from over. The project will have F trains on the fritz between the Carroll Gardens and Fourth Avenue Stations until at least 2012.
That work is expected to help the notoriously poor F train at least achieve parity with the rest of the system. State Sen. Daniel Squadron (D-Brooklyn Heights) received so many complaints about the line earlier this year that he got the MTA to conduct an in-depth analysis and commit to improving the little engine that can’t.
Squadron said that riders should start seeing improvements in November, and more significant improvements beginning next year
