The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will close the Marine Parkway Bridge overnights Oct. 16–28.

Workers will shut the bridge from 10 pm to 5 am every day except Saturday, Oct. 22, for lift tests, according to a statement from the authority.

Officials are suggesting drivers use the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge as an alternative.
