The New York City Department of Transportation advises motorists that the
Brooklyn Bridge will be closed to Manhattan-bound traffic overnight beginning on
Monday, August 23, 2010, as the agency performs necessary rehabilitation and
repainting work.

Manhattan-bound motorists will be detoured to the nearby Manhattan Bridge or to
other crossings. Brooklyn-bound traffic will be maintained throughout the
project and the bridge’s pedestrian and cycling path will remain open at all
times.

All traffic lanes will remain open during rush hours.
The closures will happen late at night:

Sundays through Fridays - 11 pm to 6 am
Saturdays - 12:01 am to 7 am
Sundays - 12:01 am to 9 am.

Overnight closures will occur periodically through 2014.

This $508 million project to rehabilitate the span’s ramps and approaches and
paint its steel components to prevent corrosion started started in the spring of
2010 and is funded in part with $30 million in American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds.
