No Queens Bound Roosevelt Island F Train for Next 4 Weekends - But Bangkok Train is Running

There is good news and bad news. The good news is that the Manhattan bound F train will be stopping at Roosevelt Island this weekend. The bad news is - well I'm sure you can guess. The Queens bound F Train will not be stopping at Roosevelt Island this weekend or the following 3 weekends. According to the MTA:

Queens-bound trains run on the V from 47-50 Sts to Roosevelt Av
Weekends, Jan 12 - Feb 4
12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon

How does this affect my trip?
~~ For service to 57 St, take the F to 5 Av-53 St and walk.

~~ For service to Lexington Av-63 St, take the F to Lexington-53 St and transfer to an uptown 4 or 6 to 59 St and walk.

~~ For service to Roosevelt Island and 21-St Queensbridge, take the F to Roosevelt Av and transfer to a Manhattan-bound F.

~~ For service from 57 St, Lexington Av-63 St, Roosevelt Island, and 21 St-Queensbridge, take a downtown F to 47-50 Sts and transfer to a Queens-bound F.

Why is service being changed?
We are making electrical improvements to ensure that trains continue
to operate safely along the F line.

Hat tip to the Presurfer for the video. It comes from Bangkok Thailand. You would think that if an entire marketplace can be quickly assembled and de-assembled to make room for a train in Bangkok then a way could be found to get people on and off Roosevelt Island in a reasonable manner.
