May 4 through May 8 and May 11 through May 15, Q service will be suspended between 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. from Atlantic Av.-Barclays Ctr. to Prospect Park. Brighton Beach-bound B service ends early, with downtown trains terminating at Atlantic Av.-Barclays Ctr. after 10:15 p.m.
FASTRACK was introduced in January 2012, devoting four straight weeknights to maintenance work in tunnels, stations and on tracks by suspending service within a given line segment for a seven-hour period.
