D​​ trains, The Bronx

From 11:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 16, to 5 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, ​​D trains aren’t running between Norwood-205th Street and 161st Street-Yankee Stadium in either direction, and downtown trains aren’t stopping at 155th Street. This is because of structural maintenance.

 

The free D90 shuttle bus connects Norwood-205th Street to Mosholu Parkway ​​​4. For service between Bedford Park Boulevard and 161st Street-Yankee Stadium, use nearby 4​ stations. Transfer between the ​​​4 and the D​​​ at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium.

 

There was a temporary disruption to the 4 service on Saturday, Feb. 17, due to an incident at 167th Street subway station, which serves the 4 line (story to follow). The service is now back running again.

 

For service to/from 155th Street, take an uptown train. D trains are running between 161st Street-Yankee Stadium and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue.
