Roosevelt Island Bridge Weekend Advisory from Friday March 14 - Monday March 31
WEEKEND WORK SCHEDULED
FROM FRIDAY, MARCH 14,2008 UNTIL MONDAY, MARCH 31,2008
WORK HOURS WILL BE CONTINUOUS FROM FRIDAY 8:OO PM THROUGH MONDAY 6:00 AM
The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) will perform three consecutive weekends of work operations on the Roosevelt Island Bridge. Work will begin on Friday, March 14. 2008 and weather permitting, continue until Monday, March 31,2008. Work hours will be continuous from Friday at 8:00 p.m. until Monday at 6:00 a.m.
The work activities planned include bridge painting operations. Traffic lane reversals will be in effect during the work hours in which one lane remains open to traffic while work progresses. Eastbound and westbound traffic will alternate using the one open lane. At the end of each weekend two-way traffic direction will be restored. This work is weather-sensitive. Inclement weather may cause die work to be rescheduled. NYPD Traffic Enforcement Agents as well as construction flaggers will be on site to help direct. Additionally, noise mitigation measures will be implemented by the contractor.
Prior to the start of weekend work the pedestrian sidewalk will be relocated to its original location.
As with all major reconstruction projects, NYCDOT is fully aware of the unavoidable impacts this reconstruction project may have on the surrounding community and on motorists. However, we will strive to keep these impacts to a minimum.
Questions regarding this project may be addressed to Tiffany Asberry, Community Liaison at 212-758-1060
