A full closure of the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge’s Harlem River Lift Span is scheduled on Friday, April 26 and Friday, May 3, from 12:01 a.m. to 5 a.m. for testing of the lifting mechanism of the bridge.

Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial
The Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge will be closed to traffic in both directions during overnight hours from Monday, April 22, through Wednesday morning, May 1. There will be no closures on Saturday or Sunday nights. During this time, all traffic will be detoured to the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., including the Q35 bus. The closures are needed to dismantle and remove protective shielding that was in place for the lift upgrade work, and to perform necessary mechanical maintenance work on the bridge.
Bronx-Whitestone
Starting April 6th a new temporary traffic pattern will be established at the Bronx approach of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge to accommodate roadway improvement work. The placement of a center work zone in the former Bronx plaza area will be accomplished by maintaining all three lanes of traffic in each direction to accommodate current traffic capacity for the corridor. The transition will be made during this weekend and overnight hours Saturday into Sunday. While there will be no loss of traffic lane capacity once the new pattern is established, there will be an anticipated period of adjustment for motorists. This pattern change will be in place until early summer.
Cross Bay Veterans Memorial
To accommodate necessary roadway joint, pavement and barrier replacement on the bridge’s main span and the five Rockaway ramps, the Cross Bay Bridge will be implementing staged roadway lane and ramp closures starting Tuesday, February 26, 2019, following the morning rush hour. The first stage of work has been completed. The second stage will go into effect the week of April 1st and will affect two of the five ramps at the Rockaway side of the bridge: the northbound (to Broad Channel) ramp toward the bridge from Beach 94th Street, and the southbound (to Rockaway) ramp from the bridge to Beach Channel Drive East will be closed for up to a month. The following stages will require closure of the remaining ramps, one closure in each direction at a time, with corresponding detours. There will also be single-lane closures on the main span in either direction, with two lanes remaining open to traffic.
