With this week’s dismissal of the Atlantic Yards environmental impact lawsuit and news this morning that construction on the project is starting to affect the lives of nearby residents, we thought it would be a good time to check in on some of the demolition that’s been moving ahead while the pencil-pushers have been fighting it out in court.

“They” have had the big flashing sign up for a week or more with “Bridge closing 1/16”. Frankly, as someone wrote on this site, this is a Trojan Wedge in the community. Anyway, last night it was open with the sign updated to “Bridge closing 1/23”. Apparently, they are stating it will be closed 3 years.
