Can anyone explain how to get to the Veranzanno bridge Lower Level from Brooklyn? It says that it will reopen at 2pm, but it looks like every access point is closed until 6pm?
Just wondering when this dumb unnecessary major inconvenience for thousands of people to completely close the Verrazano for so many hours is gonna stop?? Can someone explain why they need to completely close the bridge for so long? Why can’t they run on one level? I can think of so many options. Craziest thing I’ve ever heard
