The Queens-bound Brooklyn-Queens Expressway will be fully closed from Atlantic Avenue to Sands Street from Saturday, April 13 at 2 am to Monday, April 15 at 4 am, the city Department of Transportation said.
The repairs focus on new concrete and reinforcing steels bars being added at spans on the BQE near Clark Street and Grace Court as part of near-term work critical to continuing the structure's lifespan, the agency said through a news release.
These weekend repairs will be followed by a final, similar round of repairs expected to occur on June 1 to 3.
"Just as we did successfully last fall, we continue to deliver critical repairs to the BQE to preserve its lifespan while at the same time trying to minimize impact on the local community," said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. "And this time again we will keep the public closely updated on our progress as we plan ahead for this work."
