Drivers beware the Williamsburg Bridge this weekend: NYC Dept. of Transportation will be doing maintenance on the overhead structures and will need to close off three Manhattan-bound lanes. Two Brooklyn-bound lanes will be reversed, and all truck traffic is detoured to the Manhattan Bridge. The closure will be in place from 3am to 8pm both Saturday and Sunday.
Additional traffic enforcement agents and tow trucks will be making the rounds. The bicycle and pedestrian lanes will remain open.
DOT is replacing the bridge’s tower struts and painting tower tops and cables.
