from the Atlantic Yards and ESDC Community Notice (pdf):
In order to allow for utility work to be completed in the detour area before the Carlton Avenue Bridge is closed, the closure has been postponed.
Beginning approximately January 23, 2008, the Carlton Avenue Bridge, located between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street in Brooklyn, will be closed. The one-way bridge is being closed to accommodate upgrading the Long Island Rail Road’s Vanderbilt Yard under the bridge, and also to construct a new bridge as part of the Atlantic Yards project. For the duration of this work, northbound traffic will be rerouted either west along Pacific Street to Sixth Avenue, which will become two-way to accommodate this detour, or east along Pacific Street to Vanderbilt Avenue.
Advisory signs will be posted in advance of the closure and detour signs will be posted during the work. Traffic agents will be assigned to facilitate the flow of traffic.
