For five weeks this summer subway riders will be able to get a free, above-ground transfer between stations in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The Daily News says riders will be able to switch from G trains at the Broadway station to J or M trains at the Lorimer Street station.
Riders will have to walk a few blocks between the stations.
The free transfer is being offered while the G train’s Greenpoint Tube under the Newtown Creek is repaired, beginning July 26. The tube suffered damage during Superstorm Sandy.
During the project three stations along the G line will be shut. They are Court Square and 21st Street in Queens and Greenpoint Avenue in Brooklyn.
