The Port Authority will began a project on Monday, October 8, to repave a 450-foot section of the eastbound helix leading to the Lincoln Tunnel toll plaza as part of its $1.7 billion program to keep its tunnels and bridges in a state of good repair.

For approximately two weeks, the New York-bound helix will be closed between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., Monday through Friday, and from 11 p.m. Fridays to 7 a.m. on Saturdays. Additional Friday night/Saturday morning closings also may be required.

During those times, eastbound traffic will be diverted off the helix at the Pleasant Avenue exit.

The $500,000 project is part of the Port Authority's extensive program to keep its bridges and tunnels in a state of good repair. In its 10-year capital plan, the agency has earmarked $1.7 billion for state-of-good-repair projects at bridges and tunnels.
