Image of Roosevelt Island Bridge Opening From Previous Post By Jonathan Hoo The much delayed completion of the $86.5 million Roosevelt Island Bridge Restoration Project is undergoing more tests today. I received this advisory at from Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) at 9:17 this morning:
We have been advised by the Department of Transportation that there will be a one day extension of the limited daytime closure of the Roosevelt Island Bridge scheduled between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday, August 8th.
As during previous testing periods, the bridge will be closed to all traffic for 15 minute intervals. Traffic in the queue must dissipate before another 15 minute closure occurs. During this testing NYPD, NYFD and EMS units will be available to Roosevelt Island residents and visitors by dialing 911.
Sincerely,
Roosevelt Island Operating Corp Advisories Group
