Dunn Bridge Advisory

Boston Public Library

A reminder for motorists using the Dunn Memorial Bridge to cross the Hudson River .

Beginning Monday, lanes on the Dunn Memorial Bridge will be closed so workers can remove safety screening that was installed back in 2011 to protect peregrine falcon nesting boxes while construction crews worked nearby.

The Department of Transportation says one lane on each side of the bridge connecting Albany and Rennselaer will be closed from Monday until Friday, February 8th. Two lanes will remain open in each direction.
