STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Several bus detours remain in effect early Wednesday morning across Staten Island, after Tropical Storm Isaias wreaked havoc on trees and power lines.<\/p>\n
Heres a list of the detours posted to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority website, last updated Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday afternoon, the storm wreaked havoc on borough transportation: The Staten Island Ferry had to suspend service and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge was closed, causing a major traffic tie-up while the storm pummeled the Island.<\/p>\n
After the storm knocked out Staten Island Railway service, the MTA announced Tuesday night that service had resumed between the Tottenville and St. George stations, with delays.<\/p>\n
All trains will arrive and depart from the Tottenville-bound platforms between Grant City and Old Town and between Eltingville and Huguenot stations as crews continue tree removal.<\/p>\n
The MTA issued a statement Tuesday evening ensuring riders that more than 11,000 personnel are working around-the-clock to deliver service and respond to storm damage.<\/p>\n
Included in the effort are nearly 9,500 New York City Transit employees assessing and repairing storm damage, and 180 workers with Bridges and Tunnels removing debris and making needed repairs.<\/p>\n
