BPC COMMUNITY NOTICE: OVERNIGHT WORK ON RECTOR STREET BRIDGE SPAN REMOVAL

Overnight work is occurring this weekend to facilitate removal of the Rector Street Bridge spans. A significant amount of light is required to safely execute this work. Residents in the vicinity of the Rector Street Bridge and on Albany Street are therefore advised that they may experience bright lights positioned outside their windows to illuminate the workzone. Please plan to draw curtains or shades in advance of these activities if there is a concern that the light levels may cause a disruption.

In addition, overnight removal operations may generate some louder than normal construction-related noise, with the on-site team aiming to keep that to a minimum.

This work should be completed by the afternoon of Sunday, February 16.
