The Squibb Park Bridge opened yesterday, but that is not the only exciting thing happening at Brooklyn Bridge Park right now. According to an update on the BBP website, progress is moving steadily along at Pier Four and Pier Two. Construction workers have broken ground at Pier Four, which will be a beach and a calm water zone. Right now workers are bringing fill into the site to build up the topography. According to BBP, “Twenty-four trucks are pulling into BBP each day carrying 20 to 30 cubic yards of fill each. Over 50,000 cubic yards of fill will be on site once all of the fill has been delivered!” This process will take two-and-a-half months. Over at Pier Two, pictured above, workers are demolishing and reinforcing parts of the pier shed. The portions of the shed that remain on site will provide shading and rain shelter around the planned rec courts, in-line skating rink and picnic tables. The western edge of the shed will be removed to create the open recreation area. This project is scheduled to finish in the late fall.
