A Roosevelt Island tipster shares these photos and reports:

No F to Manhattan. Crowds up to the Kiosk

from both sides of the Tram.

Line now goes around the Kiosk to under

the Queensboro Bridge.

According to the MTA, a water condition at West 4th street station caused delays and service changes on many subway lines including the F.

Due to a water condition at W 4 St, service changes and delays are impacting the A,B,C,D,E,F,M and R lines. Details: https://t.co/gWshpvAdhH
