Queensboro Bridge Bike and Pedestrian Lanes Close at Night for Con Edison Project

The bike and pedestrian lanes on the Queensboro Bridge will close at night for several months as Con Edison performs electrical work, the utilities company said.

Starting Monday, the lanes will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday through Friday, until at least June.

The closure is due to a power cable-related project that Con Edison is working on across the span of the bridge.

Free shuttle buses and vehicles equipped to carry bicycles operate from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. over the next few months as the project continues. The shuttles run in 15-minute intervals.
