Subway riders will see many express lines going local this weekend as 15 lines are disrupted by construction work, according to the MTA.

The No. 2 and No. 3 trains will run locally between Chambers Street and 34th St-Penn Station, while the No. 1 train is completely suspended between 14th Street and South Ferry.

Brooklyn-bound No. 4 and No. 5 trains will also run local in Manhattan from 125th Street to Grand Central- 42nd Street.

The Bronx-bound No. 4 will also run local from Crown Heights-Utica Avenue to Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center.

The No. 5 will be suspended in The Bronx in both directions between Eastchester-Dyre Avenue and E 180 Street. And No. 5 lines will only run from East 180th Street in the Bronx to Bowling Green in Manhattan every 20 minutes.

The No. 6 will also be snarled in the Bronx, running only every 16 minutes between the Third Avenue-138th Street and Pelham Bay Park stations. It will run express between Pelham Bay Park to Hunts Point Avenue.

On the lettered lines, changes included the rerouting of the A and C train on the F line between W 4 St-Washington Square and Jay St-MetroTech because of Hurricane Sandy work. The A train will then hit all the local stops between Washington Square and 59 St-Columbus Circle.

In Brooklyn, the D will run along the N line between Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue and 36th Street. The Manhattan-bound R will also run express between 59th Street in Sunset Park and the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center.

The F will be suspended in both directions between Kings Highway and Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. Instead, riders will have to use an MTA shuttle bus.
