Drivers in Williamsburg should prepare for temporary road closures next month as crews carry out work connected to an MTA infrastructure improvement project.

According to a construction notice distributed through the NYC Department of Transportation, Throop Avenue between Lorimer Street and Middleton Street will be fully closed to traffic during scheduled work hours between November 7 and November 15.

The closures are scheduled for Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The work will be performed by Positive Lifting LLC, which will use a crane to deliver and position a large MTA equipment box as part of MTA Contract P-36312.

According to New York State contracting records, the MTA project involves repairs to electrical infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Sandy, including circuit breakers, substations, and electrical distribution equipment.
