Beginning the first week of June, late night subway riders will see a disruption in 7 train service through Flushing.

Service will be suspended in both directions between Mets-Willets Point and Flushing-Main Street stations from the hours of 11:45 p.m. and 5 a.m. for three nights each week, over the course of nine weeks between June 1 and July 31.

The first three nights work is scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, Wednesday June 3 and Thursday June 4.

During the disruption, free shuttle bus service in both directions between the two stations will be available.

The MTA better hope the Mets stay away from lengthy rain delays or 18 inning baseball games.
