Brooklyn Bridge Construction

They're doing some cleaning and construction work near the main pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge off of Cadman Plaza. The detour from the steps is gone - and in its place is some beautiful stone sidewalk signs welcoming visitors into Brooklyn. However, they are still doing work, so be careful.

Also, the pedestrian pathway on the Manhattan Bridge will be closed the weekend (that's the side facing the Brooklyn Bridge). Unclear why, though it looked like they may be prepping for some kind of movie shoot. However, the bicycle pathway is open (that's on the northern side of the bridge, facing uptown and the Williamsburg Bridge) - just be careful of the bikes. Especially as you are coming from Manhattan, there are a couple of blind spots that make it a little hazardous if bikes are whizzing down the bridge toward you.

As of Sunday, May 18 the construction is all finished on the Brooklyn Bridge seams all finished.

The movie shoot is in full production. The Q and N trains are even taking the tunnel. They are remaking The Taking of Pelham 123.
