FORT WADSWORTH — The upper level of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge will close overnight this week so workers can place large steel beams there, according to the MTA.

From 9 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, the upper-level Staten Island-bound side of the bridge will be closed to allow for construction, the MTA said.

The Brooklyn-bound upper level will be closed from 9 p.m. on Wednesday to 5 a.m. on Thursday, and again at 9 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday, the agency said.

Traffic permitting, the Staten Island-bound side will be closed from 9 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday and from 10 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday, the MTA said.

The MTA said drivers who need to cross the bridge at these times should expect delays.
