Tens of thousands of straphangers will have to find a new way to get around beginning this summer.
The damage Superstorm Sandy caused to the city’s transit system will continue punishing commuters as the MTA is forced to disrupt service on the R and G trains, the agency said Wednesday.
Starting the first week of August, the Montague tunnel that allows the R train to enter lower Manhattan will be shut down for 14 months.
