Greenpoint Av will get elevators, but construction looms

G train riders at Greenpoint Av got some great news and some bad news.

The MTA announced last week that the station will install three new elevators and other accessibility features in the coming weeks.

That will be a boon to everyone who uses a wheelchairs, parents with strollers or anyone carrying anything heavy.

But the construction will come with some closures and one-way direction changes, which may cause some headaches along the way.

From 9:45 p.m. on Friday, November 30 to 5 a.m. on Monday, December 31, only northbound G trains will stop at Greenpoint Av.

The station will also be closed in both directions on weeknights between 9:45 p.m. and 5 a.m., and on weekends at all hours from December 3 to December 24.
