March 6, 2015

Beginning Saturday, March 7 until summer 2017, there will be lane closures on the upper level of the Verrazano Bridge for replacement of the existing roadway. During the first phase, drivers who need to access the BK-bound Belt Parkway ramp from the upper level in the morning must use the left lane of the bridge. Signs will be in place directing drivers to the dedicated lane. During the work, all current lanes of traffic will be maintained during peak weekday morning and afternoon drive times using a movable barrier that can be shifted to allow for three Brooklyn-bound, upper level lanes in the morning and three Staten Island-bound, upper level lanes in the afternoon. Drivers can also utilize the lower level of the bridge, which have three available lanes in each direction during peak traffic times. See http://bit.ly/1zPpkqV for details.
