Bayonne Bridge to close this weekend

BAYONNE – The Bayonne Bridge will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, to 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 29, as work proceeds on the “Raise the Roadway” project.
The Port Authority urges motorists to use the Goethals Bridge instead.
The authority’s free weekend shuttle service will run on Friday, Sept. 26 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The service will be suspended on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept.28 due to the weekend closure.
To receive the latest updates, travelers should register for Bridge Alerts at http://www.paalerts.com/, call 511, or visit www.511NY.org or www.511NJ.org.
The $1.3 billion project is designed to raise the navigational clearance under the crossing to 215 feet to allow larger, modern ships to travel under it.
