Queens commute problems

Commutes were snarled on four Queens subway lines today after signal problems knocked out and rerouted service, a Transit spokeswoman said.
V train and No. 7 express service has been out since 6:40 a.m. in both directions. New York City Transit stopped V trains and rerouted the E line to fix a switch problem on both lines around Queens plaza.
The emergency work, train delays on the E, F, and 7 lines and the V outage are expected to continue until 3 p.m.
No. 7 express trains were rerouted to boost local service to pick up passengers. The E line was rerouted onto F line tracks from West 4th Street in Manhattan to the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue Station in Queens.
Transit is asking straphangers to take the C train from West 4th Street to 50th Street in Manhattan and take 7 local and R service in Manhattan and Queens.
