NEW YORK, NY – AUGUST 2: A G train arrives at the Smith – 9th Street station in Brooklyn on August 2, 2021 in New York City.

Brooklyn commuters could be in for some headaches this summer as the MTA has plans for some big repair projects in the works.

G train riders may have to deal with delays as the transit authority works to replace the century-old control systems along the subway line. There will be a series of around-the-clock disruptions for six weeks, likely starting in June.

The entire line won't be shut down all at once, however. The repairs will be split into three sections.
