The A train service to the Rockaways will resume May 19, 2024, after a 17-week rehabilitation following disruption caused by Superstorm Sandy. This service interruption affected about 9,000 daily commuters, who utilized shuttle buses and LIRR alternatives during the downtime. The work ensured structural resilience for the Hammels Wye Viaduct and South Channel Bridge, both critical for future operations. Advocacy groups celebrate the reopening, emphasizing its impact on commuters' ease and access to beach recreation as summer approaches.
We're thrilled that the A train is once again going out to the Rockaways and that structural damage from Hurricane Sandy has now been repaired.
The restoration of subway service will make daily commutes easier for more than 9,000 people, and make it so that any New Yorker can take the train to enjoy the beach.
