2 Brooklyn Ferry Stops To Close For Months For Construction

BROOKLYN, NY — Two Brooklyn ferry stops will be unavailable for more than two months starting in April, the city announced.

Starting April 5, the DUMBO and South Williamsburg ferry landings will be closed for construction that is expected to last between eight and ten weeks.

The South Williamsburg stop will be replaced and upgraded to make it fully compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act and so that two ferries can dock at once, officials said.

In DUMBO, the landing will be upgraded and relocated to the Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The landing will have a dedicated queuing area, improve operations and ensure ADA accessibility, according to the ferry service.

During the construction, the ferry service has put out alternate transit options New Yorkers can use. Find out more below:
