The Queens-bound BQE between Atlantic Avenue and Sands Street will be fully closed to traffic from 2 a.m. on Saturday, April 13 to 4 a.m. on Monday, April 15.
Motorists will have to exit the expressway and follow a signed detour route until they can re-enter the BQE. The detours will be "heavily signed," according to the DOT.
The agency strongly encouraged travelers to avoid the BQE altogether during the closure, and to anticipate heavy traffic and longer-than-usual travel times if they must take the route.
The shutdown will allow the DOT to perform much-needed short-term repairs on the infamous Triple Cantilever as the city awaits federal funding to fully overhaul the aging span.
