The city is evaluating a plan to construct a temporary elevated highway that would run above the Brooklyn Bridge, providing an alternate route while the Brooklyn‑Queens Expressway undergoes reconstruction.
The proposed sky highway would carry traffic above the historic bridge to maintain flow during the rebuild of the Expressway’s triple‑cantilever structure.
Officials are looking at this option as the Brooklyn‑Queens Expressway is slated for a major overhaul, requiring alternative routes for commuters.
