"During the summer we had to remove a lot of concrete and that's why we closed, sometimes, a few lanes during the summer of the BQE. But this time around we are closing it from Saturday two in the morning til Monday 4 a.m. because we need enough time to install, now, the concrete and give enough time for the concrete to cure," DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said.
