ONE QUEENS-BOUND LANE OF BQE CLOSED UNTIL MAY 10
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — THE RIGHT LANE OF THE QUEENS-BOUND BROOKLYN-QUEENS EXPRESSWAY will continue to be closed from midnight to 5 a.m. from Atlantic Avenue to Clark Street until May 10. The Atlantic Avenue entrance ramp to Queens-bound BQE will also be closed. These closures are required for core extraction and testing along the BQE and for removal of plates and placement of asphalt for interim repairs, and are dependent on weather and field conditions. NYC DOT will continue to close the Pearl Street Ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge on weeknights from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. from April 22 to May 3.
The ramp closure is necessary for continued masonry repair on the walls of the approach arches, according to DOT.
