M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M9, M15, Q32, M42, M50, M101, M102, M103, M104, BxM1, BxM2, BxM3, BxM4a, BxM4b, BxM6, BxM7, BxM7a, BxM7b, BxM9, BxM10 and BxM18.

Some subway entrances and exits may also be closed, particularly along the 4, 5, and 6 line at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall stop, Chambers Street along the J-M-Z line and 5th Avenue - 53rd Street along the E and V lines.
