Street Closures On Sunday For The NYC Marathon

The 2013 ING New York City Marathon is this Sunday, November 3, and you should plan very carefully before trying to get around the day of. The closest, longest-stretching, and potentially most disruptive road closures in Brooklyn will begin at about 7am, and include:

• 4th Avenue between 92nd Street and Flatbush Avenue
• Flatbush Avenue between 4th Avenue and Lafayette Avenue
• Brooklyn Queens Expressway (southbound) between Verrazano Bridge and 79th Street
• Bay Ridge Parkway between 7th Avenue and 4th Avenue
• Pulaski Bridge (southbound)

Runners will be starting the marathon in waves from 8:30-10:55am. You can see a map of the marathon route and approximate schedule here, plus view closures in all boroughs from the Department of Transportation.

We know neighbors Bryan Steinhauer and Mark Fiedeldey are running this year — anyone else gearing up for it? Let us know in the comments so Park Slope can root for you!

If you’re planning to cheer our neighbors on from the sidelines, there’s a fun sign-making event and fundraiser over at PS 124 (4th Avenue, between 13th and 14th Streets) on Sunday starting at 9am!
