VIDEO: L train weekend closure affects local businesses
With more track work scheduled for the L train, local businesses in Williamsburg are seeing a marked decline in their weekend sales.
The construction affects the section between Eighth Avenue in Manhattan and Lorimer Street in Williamsburg and is planned to continue to mid-May.
On one end, the transportation construction creates an unwanted obstacle for businesses along the L train’s route; however, the MTA says the construction is necessary and will prevent future holdups.
