At 4:31pm, the MTA posted an update stating that 1, 2 and 3 trains would resume operating normally on both uptown and downtown lines.
“We are working to get trains and crews into place for the rush hour. Expect possible service changes and delays, but we expect full service for most of the rush.”
At 5am this morning, a water main break near Lincoln Center caused red line service shut downs between 96th Street and Times Square, as well as other subway outages and the suspension of several bus routes.

There were street closures between 61st and 72nd Streets on Broadway.
And the area was transformed into a really inconvenient, high-rapid river, causing early morning frustrations as well as the closure of several nearby businesses.
