Williamsburg Bridge

NYCDOT will continue to maintain pedestrian/bike access across the bridge. During the next 18 months either the south or north footwalk will be closed to facilitate work on the main towers. When both footwalks are reopened, the south footwalk is proposed to be restricted to pedestrians only while the north will be deemed a dedicated bikeway. In order to facilitate the ongoing rehabilitation of the bridge, the south footwalk will close temporarily on Friday, November 17, 2006 until further notice. Simultaneously, the north footwalk will reopen to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As a result, the Bedford Avenue entrance to the south footwalk will be closed. Entrance to the north footwalk in Brooklyn will be from South 5th Street (at South 5th Place).
