Free construction site tours of Brooklyn Bridge Park
The long lines of East River docks south of the Brooklyn Bridge are rapidly transforming into 85 acres of park space that will start opening by the end of this year, but the public can also get a sneak peak in August during free evening tours.
 These are definitely construction site excursions as the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation invite even spells out footwear requirements: “no sandals permitted!”
The park, located below the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, will stretch from Piers 1 to 6 between Fulton Ferry Landing and Atlantic Avenue.
Pier 6 at Atlantic Avenue will also host a seasonal ferry service to Governors Island, it was announced Wednesday.
The reservation-required tours are scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday evenings throughout August. The dates: August 4, 11, 18, and 25. RSVP to jbatta@empire.state.ny.us or (212) 803-3138.
