On the BQE today, you could see the signs stating the closing hours. Drove over it today, the last day.
In a traffic filled route, god forsaken Staten Island Expressway on a Friday afternoon.
But anyways...

Goethals Bridge closes Friday, to be replaced by twin spans
Quote:
It's the last day for the Goethals Bridge.
The 89-year-old span that connects Elizabeth, New Jersey, with Staten Island, New York, will close Friday and be replaced by twin spans.
New York-bound traffic will use the first of the twin spans Saturday afternoon. New Jersey-bound lanes will open late Sunday afternoon. The second of the twin spans will open in 2018.
The new Goethals Bridge spans will each have three 12-foot lanes along with 12-foot outer shoulders and 5-foot (2-meter) inner shoulders.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the $1.5 billion cable-stayed crossing is the agency's first new bridge opening since the Bayonne Bridge was completed in 1931.
