The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the lower level eastbound lanes will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Monday through Thursday. They'll be closed from 11 p.m. Friday through 8 a.m. on Saturday.

The lane closures will allow workers to remove temporary construction platforms used during installation of the deck on the upper level.

Similar closures are expected to continue through mid-October.
