MTA Plans Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Marathon Closure

The key New York City toll span will partially close to vehicles Saturday night, November 2, starting at 11:00 PM before fully closing the following day from 7:00 AM until 4:00 PM, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced. The bridge is part of the route of Sunday’s city-permitted TCS New York City Marathon. Motorists traveling to Brooklyn or Staten Island will have to seek alternate routes.

NBC News New York reports, as many as 50,000 race participants are expected. The article includes detailed information on the marathon route, street closures, and detours.
