Montague tunnel repairs completed, R train resumes Monday
Gov. Cuomo tours reconstructed tunnel from Brooklyn Heights to Manhattan
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, federal and city officials and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) officials boarded a work train at the R and N line station on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights on Sunday to tour the rebuilt Montague Tube subway tunnel.
MTA employees there said the governor congratulated them on a job well done.
To the relief of straphangers, regular R line service will resume at 6 a.m. Monday, several weeks earlier than expected.
