As expected, the Guider Avenue/East 8th Street Bridge reconstruction began yesterday. The **overpass has been closed**, and we heard some reports during yesterday evening’s rush hour of total madness in the area. The Belt Parkway was standstill, and **surrounding streets – including Neptune Avenue and Avenue Z – were packed with confused drivers** trying to find alternate routes.

As a reminder, in order to access the Belt Parkway West from Coney Island Avenue and Guider Avenue, continue north on Coney Island Avenue until Avenue Z. Make a left onto **Hubbard Street, where they’ve just installed a stop light to deal with the additional traffic.** Then make a right onto the Shore Parkway service road.

If possible **avoid the area entirely** during rush hour in either direction. If people can suggest an alternate route to efficiently bypass the Belt Parkway between Ocean Parkway and Knapp Street, Sheepshead Bites’ readers will have a leg up on other commuters.
