Brookfield is currently anticipating completing the roof and curtain wall system of the Liberty Street Bridge at the end of this month. At that point, we will no long require the scaffolding system that is currently in place and the remaining work will be conducted from below the bridge or within the bridge itself, installing the interior finishes. Scaffolding will be removed over a three-week period beginning Monday 11/2 and going through Friday 11/20. The work will involve partial lane closures at night. Once we have more details regarding specific lane closures and times we will be back to you shortly.
