No Manhattan Bound F Train Subway Service From Roosevelt Island To Manhattan This Weekend - Expect Crowded Trams and Plan Accordingly

Image of Roosevelt Island Tram Station With No Manhattan Bound F Train During 5/14 weekend

According to the MTA:
F Coney Island-bound trains run via the M from Roosevelt Av to 47-50 Sts
Weekend, 12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon, Jun 18 - 20

Trains run express from Roosevelt Av to Queens Plaza.

Trains skip the 21 St-Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Lexington Av-63 St, and 57 St Stations.

For service to these stations, take the F to 47-50 Sts and transfer to a Jamaica-bound F.

For service from these stations, take Jamaica-bound  Fto Roosevelt Av and transfer to a Coney Island-bound F. 
Expect crowded Manhattan Bound Roosevelt Island Trams. Plan accordingly.

UPDATE 12:20 PM: In response to my inquiry, Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Vice President of Operations Fernando Martinez reports:
The MTA did not inform us about the service disruption. But, yes we are running both Tram cabins. You should have received a RIOC advisory early this morning.
and
Yes. Both the Tram and the Red bus will have extended service.
UPDATE 8 PM - From Mr. Martinez:
From 5am to 6am, the Tram crew will perform required system checks and maintenance. During this time, the Tram will not have scheduled departures. The Tram crew will, however, make a trip if necessary.

the people who live in river cross run this island always remeber that . the people in southtown are new comers they do not have the power as of yeT . but right now rioc takes its orders froM rivercross , . they are all waiting to make a killing on their apartments when thE building comes out of mitcell lama aND IF TORRES DOSES NOT GO ALONG WITH THEIR PLAN , SHE WILL BE OUT OF A JOB . THIS IS WHAT HAPPEND TO THE LAST RIOC PRES. HE WANTED TO KEEP RIVERCROSS AFFORDABLE but these people want to become owners of their apartment,which they paid like 20,000 and will be wroth 900,oo0.so there is no way rioc will stand in the way of this happening, just ask the last rioc pres.
