Thurs., Sept. 11 – Wed., Sept. 17 | ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES ARE IN EFFECT ALL WEEK
Special Alert for Lower Manhattan on Thursday! In observance of the 13th remembrance of the September 11th attacks, all streets in the area bounded by Barclay St., Thames/Albany Sts., Trinity Pl./Church St., and West St. will close 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday. While West and Church Sts. will remain open I strongly advise taking alternate routes (F.D.R. Drive) if driving or taking a taxi.
In the Lincoln Tunnel, the New York-bound tube will close 11 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday. This will send inbound traffic to the Holland Tunnel, where one lane will close in each direction during the same hours. Avoid a late-night return if you can.
In their first home game of the season, the Giants take on the Cardinals 1 p.m. Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Expect extra traffic at the Holland as drivers jam the Lincoln.

The Manhattan-bound Brooklyn Bridge will close 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Thursday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights, midnight Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday, and midnight Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday. Drivers headed into the city will take the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges and the Battery Tunnel instead, making for extra traffic on Canal, Delancey, and West Sts., respectively.
