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
