While there are no planned changes for the 3, 4, 6, and L trains this weekend, most other lines are not so lucky. The M isn’t running between Queens and Manhattan, the J continues to take a break between Brooklyn and Queens, and there will be a significant amount of skipped stops across the board. Check out the full damage below.

There won’t be any J service between Crescent Street in Brooklyn and Jamaica Center in Queens, take the E or hop on a free shuttle bus. From 3:45 a.m. on Saturday to 10 p.m. on Sunday, Crescent Street-bound J trains skip Hewes Street, Lorimer Street and Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn.

Through April 1, Church Avenue-bound G trains will skip Flushing Avenue in Brooklyn. There won’t be any G service between Bedford-Nostrand Avenuess in Brooklyn and Court Square in Queens, hop on a shuttle bus instead.
