ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES ARE IN EFFECT ALL WEEK
Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, don’t expect its effects to disappear. From now until Labor Day expect all approaches to the Holland Tunnel to be overloaded from 3 p.m. to after 6 p.m. every Thursday and Friday. Varick, Canal, Spring, and Broome Sts. will all suffer the consequences.
Ninja Turtle-lock on Friday affecting Church St., West Broadway, and especially Duane St. The next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles epic will be filming on Duane St. from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Tunnel closures abound this week! In the Lincoln Tunnel, the New York-bound tube will close from 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday, as will one New York-bound lane in the Holland Tunnel. The Lincoln Tunnel closure will send drivers down to the Holland, which will be slow because of its own closure. Expect delays at the neighboring bridges — the Brooklyn and Manhattan.
One tube at the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel will close from 9:30 p.m. Friday through 5:30 a.m. Monday. Additionally, one tube will close between 9:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.
With summer fast approaching, Lower Manhattan is a hotbed for outdoor activities, which means lots of street closures ahead. For the latest in road closures, festivals, and traffic news, follow me on Twitter @GridlockSam and check the website www.GridlockSam.com.
