The G line is the forgotten stepchild, no more!
The MTA is set to approve a $368 million contract to install a modern communications-based train control (CBTC) signal system on the G line, which would make the Brooklyn-Queens line the third in New York City equipped with the technology.
The agreement, which is likely to be approved at the MTA’s board meeting on Wednesday, stipulates the work should be done in just shy of five years. The new signaling system will run the length of the train’s route from Court Square in Long Island City, Queens to Church Avenue in Kensington, Brooklyn.
