Posted

The Nassau County Bridge Authority that oversees the Atlantic Beach Bridge announced that traffic restrictions will be in effect on Tuesday, Aug. 20 and Wednesday, Aug. 21 between midnight and 5 a.m. to repair the bridge’s bascule leafs — the sections that rise when the bridge opens for boat traffic.

During those hours the bridge will be open to vehicular traffic for 10 minutes between 12:50 to 1 a.m., 1:50 to 2 a.m., 2:50 to 3 a.m. and 3:50 to 4 a.m.

The bridge authority apologizes for any inconvenience. Any questions call the NCBA at (516) 239-6900. — Jeffrey Bessen
