MANHATTAN — It's going to be a mess on the roads and rails this weekend with a series of construction-, filming- and festival-related closures around the borough.
The ramp from the southbound FDR Drive onto the Brooklyn Bridge will be closed this weekend from 11 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Monday for roadway reconstruction.
Brooklyn-bound drivers can get off at the Manhattan Civic Center/Pace University off-ramp (Exit 2), turn left at Pearl Street and then right to access the ramp onto the Brooklyn Bridge.
Motorists can also continue to Exit 1, make U-turn at the Whitehall/Staten Island Ferry terminal, get back on the north-bound FDR and get off at Exit 2 for the bridge.
For Manhattan-bound traffic, the Pearl Street off-ramp will be closed. Drivers can exit the bridge at Centre Street to continue uptown. Those trying to get downtown can get off at Park Row South.
