Permanent changes to the roadway network on Carlton Avenue and Pacific Street beginning on or around September 24, 2012

As part of the transportation improvements related to the Atlantic Yards project, beginning on or around September 24, 2012, weather permitting, the following permanent changes will be made to the roadway network:

Carlton Avenue (between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street only) will re-open to vehicular traffic as a two-way roadway. Vehicles will be able to access this block from eastbound and westbound Atlantic Avenue and will be able to make left and right turns from Carlton Avenue onto Atlantic Avenue at this location.

Directly following the reopening of Carlton Avenue, Pacific Street (between Carlton Avenue and Sixth Avenue only) will change from one-way westbound to a two-way roadway.

Please see attached flyer for map and more information.
