It's here:The proposal never saw the light of day, but the Manhattan Bridge continued to deteriorate. In May of 1982, a routine inspection revealed a cracked beam above the north side subway tracks near the Manhattan tower, forcing emergency rerouting of B and D trains. In both 1982 and 1983, midday routings of D trains would send them via tunnel and Nassau Street Loop to just past Essex Street onto the Williamsburgh Bridge, where trains would reverse direction, go through the Chrystie Street cut, and rejoin 6th Avenue service at Broadway/Lafayette. This added 20 minutes to the mid-day commute for Brighton Line riders. Thanks! |
