The Roslyn Viaduct Reconstruction
The New York State Department of Transportation in conjunction with their contractor, Tully Construction Co. Inc., is currently reconstructing the new south half of the bridge.
During the reconstruction of the southern half of the Viaduct, 3 lanes of traffic remain open on the new north span of the bridge, with 2 of those lanes open in the direction of rush hour traffic from Monday mornings through Saturday evenings. The new travel lane pattern is as follows:
2 Lanes Westbound, 1 Lane Eastbound
6:00 am - 2:00 pm
2 Lanes Eastbound, 1 Lane Westbound
3:00 pm - 10:00 pm
One Lane in Each Direction
10:00 pm - 5:00 am (Monday - Saturday)
On Saturday evenings at 10:00 p.m., one lane in each direction will remain open through 5:00 a.m. Monday mornings.
One lane in each direction remains open during the hours of 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m. (Monday - Saturday) so lanes can be re-positioned back into the successive reversible lane pattern.
CURRENT WEEKLY TRAFFIC INFORMATION:
(Updated 7/26/10)
The reversible travel lanes as indicated above will remain in effect long-term during the reconstruction of the Roslyn Viaduct.
Construction signs are in place along 25A/Northern Blvd. in advance of the work zone to alert motorists that there is road work ahead. Motorists are urged to maintain the reduced speed limit of 30 mph within the work zone as posted.
With the start of work on the southern portion of the bridge, the pedestrian access to the sidewalk on the south side of the bridge has been eliminated and will not be restored until the south bridge and new sidewalk are completed later this year. Motorists traveling eastbound on the new half of the Viaduct are able to access the exit ramp (located slightly east of its original location) to East Broadway and Bryant Avenue during the reconstruction of the south portion of the bridge.
CHURCH STREET
There is no direct access from Church Street onto the Roslyn Viaduct. Cars should not cross the Do Not Enter sign on Witte Lane to access the Viaduct. Motorists heading south on Church Street must make a right turn onto Witte Lane to Bryant Avenue and then make a left turn onto Bryant Avenue and continue through Roslyn to access westbound Northern Blvd.
