For once, subway construction is actually going to increase service — at least for G train riders.
Straphangers on the only line that doesn’t enter Manhattan will get service to five more stops than usual beginning July 5, according to an NYC Transit memo.
That’s because work on the highest-elevated subway stop in the entire system, Smith and Ninth streets in Brooklyn, will force G trains to make their end-of-run reversal further south than usual.
That means the train will stop at Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street, Seventh Avenue, 15th Street-Prospect Park and Fort Hamilton Parkway before finally reversing course at Church Avenue.
