The George Washington Bridge’s lower-level lanes will close during nighttime hours this week to accommodate ongoing construction work, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced.

The following closures are scheduled:

• Tonight the lower level eastbound lanes to New York will close from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
