 The  New  York  City  Department  of  
 Transportation will continue conducting  
 maintenance on the Grand Street  
 Bridge over Newtown Creek until Aug. 27. 
 The bridge will be closed between Sundays  
 and Fridays from Aug. 8 to Aug. 27 between  
 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night. The bridge will  
 also be fully closed during work hours. 
 Maintenance  on  the  bridge  started  in  
 early  July  and was  previously  scheduled  
 for weekends. 
 The  two-lane  bridge  connects Gardner  
 Avenue  in  Brooklyn  and  47th  Street  in  
 Queens. Metropolitan Avenue will be used  
 as an alternative route while construction is  
 underway, according to DOT. 
 A DOT spokesperson said this is routine  
 bridge maintenance to keep the structure  
 in good condition due to its age, as the bridge  
 was built in 1903. 
 “Maintenance on the bridge is an ongoing  
 activity due to its advanced age,” the DOT  
 spokesperson  said.  “Work  is  frequently  
 scheduled  for weekends when traffi    c volumes  
 are the lightest and our work does not  
 interfere with local business and industry.” Photo by Alejandra O’Connell-Domenech
