If they’re only closing the Manhattan-bound traffic, are they only working on one side of the bridge?

It will always be open to Brooklyn-bound traffic.

This is going to suck.

An gigantic wast of resources.

If the bridge was shut down totally, many would stop driving into Manhattan and use public transportation. Please remember, the Brooklyn Bridge is basically single car commuter traffic.

I walk the bridge during rush hour and see very few multi-passanger cars.

Please don’t give them any ideas like that! You never know what could happen. LOL!

Wow, 4 years is a long time!
