Heads up, weekend straphangers face a detour on the L line.

The MTA said service will be suspended between Manhattan and Brooklyn starting 11:15 p.m. Friday and lasting until 5 a.m. Monday.

L trains will not run during that time between 8th Avenue and Lorimer Street in either direction.

Riders looking for service between the two boroughs this weekend can catch J and M trains, with the latter extending service to 57th Street in Manhattan.

The weekend service suspension is due to structural maintenance, according to the MTA website.
