BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — REPAIR WORK REQUIRING SINGLE-LANE CLOSURE OF THE QUEENS-BOUND BROOKLYN-QUEENS EXPRESSWAY, originally scheduled for the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 27, has been rescheduled to the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 3. One lane in the Queens-bound direction will be closed from Grace Court to Clark Street in Brooklyn Heights from midnight to 5 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3. The closure will allow DOT access into the MTA chamber that houses the fan plant in order to carry out crucial column and beam repairs. At least one lane will still be available, according to DOT community contact Anita Navalurkar.
DOT contractors will be repairing spalled concrete with exposed and broken rebar on the interior of the chamber.
