Analise, the evening/weekend diversions are probably trial runs (I haven't seen any construction for a while). You want to find problems before the new tunnel goes into rush-hour service.</font>
JS, I'm sure you're absolutely right. Trial runs never even crossed my mind. Unfortunately, they have been doing trial runs now for over 6 months. I wonder what testing process they must undergo in order to open new subway lines. It does seem to be taking quite a bit of time. It also would be helpful for the MTA to tell commuters what they are doing. We see all of those signs posted about closures but they do not give the commuter reasons for these closures. Or am I missing something?
