BAYONNE – The Bayonne Bridge will close from 11:59 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5 through 8 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, to accommodate ongoing construction work on the “Raise the Roadway” project, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey announced.
The closing was scheduled in conjunction with other regional agencies to minimize traffic impacts.
During the week, the span is closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day and overnight from 8:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. On certain weekdays, the Bayonne Bridge will open a half hour earlier – at 4:30 a.m. – to provide an alternate route for drivers affected by 4:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. traffic holds on the Goethals Bridge.
