First new span at Kosciuszko Bridge opens for traffic Thursday night
The first span replacing the Kosciuszko Bridge will be open to traffic Thursday night.
In a project by the state and city to replace the Kosciuszko Bridge with two new spans in Brooklyn and Queens, the first section will be open to run traffic at 11:30 p.m. Thursday. There will be two-way traffic until the next span is complete, News 12 reported.
The second span that will open in 2020 will have three more lanes. As part of the project, some of the bridge will be demolished this summer.
