Yet more Brooklyn Bridge-related road closures for those trying to head to Manhattan between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The Department of Transportation has been doing emergency roadwork because the span has been hit hard during our numerous storms. According to WABC 7, "The work includes milling existing pavement, pothole repair, new asphalt riding surfaces and new pavement markings. This effort supplements the overall rehabilitation of the Brooklyn Bridge ramps and approaches." Yet another reason for taxi drivers to hate going to Brooklyn!

Manhattan-bound lanes will be detoured "from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m. overnight [tonight], and from 12:01 a.m. until roughly 6 p.m. on Saturday. In the event of rain, work will continue on Sunday." More details here.
