N train station repairs begin Jan 18.
Manhattan-bound riders face detours
An ambitious project to renovate several stations along the N subway line in Southwest Brooklyn will enter a crucial new phase on Jan. 18, as repairs begin in earnest.
The project will mean more than a year of detours for thousands of subway riders.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will be closing the platforms for northbound N trains at the following stations: Fort Hamilton Parkway, New Utrecht Avenue, 18th Avenue, 20th Avenue, Kings Highway, Avenue U and 86th Street.
N train will make express stops only at Eighth Avenue and at 86th Street, bypassing all of the stations in between. Temporary platforms are being constructed at the Bay Parkway and Eighth Avenue stations.
