Traffic Advisory: The Brooklyn Bridge

Beginning Monday night, April 4, through Friday, between the hours of 11:00 pm and 6:00 am, the Brooklyn Bridge will close to Manhattan-bound traffic overnight to perform necessary long-term rehabilitation and repainting work.

Closures will continue through the weekend, Saturday 12:01am to 7am, and Sunday 12:01am to 9am.

All work will occur overnight during off-peak hours, when Manhattan-bound motorists will be detoured to the nearby Manhattan Bridge, or may choose other crossings.

Brooklyn-bound traffic will be maintained throughout the project as will the span’s pedestrian and cycling path. Motorists should follow signed routes to access the bridge leaving Manhattan.

The northbound FDR exit to the Brooklyn Bridge is closed starting one hour before closure hours. Motorists should use the prior South Street exit.

The Brooklyn Queens Expressway eastbound exit to the Brooklyn Bridge is closed starting as early as 30 minutes before closure hours. Motorists should proceed to the following Manhattan Bridge exit or use the prior Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (pay toll) exit for access to Manhattan.
