Roosevelt Island Bridge Closure Advisories Did Not End Last Night - Will Continue on August 20 & 21

Just received the following email advisory from RIOC regarding continued work this August by the NYC Department of Transportation on the Roosevelt Island Bridge.

Please be advised the NYC DOT Bridge Operations Unit will be performing openings on the Roosevelt Island Bridge for preventive maintenance. They will be conducting these openings on August 20, 2009 to August 21, 2009 between the hours of 8:30 P.M. and 4:00 A.M. Please be advised that each test opening will take anywhere from 8 to 10 minutes to be completed. The test openings will be appropriately spaced to prevent the least amount of disturbance to the vehicular traffic traversing the bridge.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group
