Montague tube closure to begin late night on August 2
Straphangers who use the R line are in for a complicated commute beginning in just a couple of weeks.
The Montague Tube, which carries the R train underneath the East River, will be closed starting late Friday, August 2 until at least October, 2014, in order to make extensive repairs to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Andy Inglesby, assistant director of government and community relations for the MTA, and Jay Krantz, director of rail and network planning for the agency, were at Community Board 7’s Traffic and Transportation Committee meeting on Wednesday, July 10 to brief residents about what to expect during the construction.
