Carlton Avenue Bridge Reopened Yesterday

Yesterday Community Board Six tweeted that the Carlton Bridge reopened near the Barclays Center at 9 am. Of course, Atlantic Yards Report was on the scene, and said: “This is way, way beyond the original announced schedule of two years, but it does avert a traffic nightmare as of this Friday, Sept. 28, when the Barclays Center opens. The bridge is a key artery for drivers on Carlton Avenue, which borders the interim surface parking lot.” The bridge closed in January of 2008; the reconstruction was part of an “arena opening condition” agreed upon by Forest City Ratner. The reconstruction was supposed to wrap in 2010.
