This in from Brooklyn Bridge Outreach:

Due to the effects of continuing winter storms on the Brooklyn Bridge roadways, emergency resurfacing work begins this week. 11 PM-6AM Wed & Thurs, and 12AM to 6PM Sat, all Manhattan-bound traffic will be detoured to other crossings. The contraflow operation will be in effect, and all Brooklyn-bound traffic will travel on the north roadway. In two locations on the FDR Drive and the BQE, the closures will begin 30-60 min earlier to allow work crews to set up. …

In the event of inclement weather, work may continue on Sunday.

    I am glad that the DOT is tackling this problem, but folks should know that the traffic diversions are actually occurring earlier than outlined. It was approximately 10:30, Wednesday evening, and the northbound exit to the Brooklyn Bridge off of the FDR was already closed.
