  Franklin Street Closed Tonight
  The new 18-story residential tower at 50 Franklin Street topped out last month, with contractor CM & Associates now performing façade and utility work. Tonight, crews will use a crane to install the building’s cooling tower on its roof. The operation requires the full closure of Franklin Street between Lafayette and Broadway starting at 8 p.m. Pedestrian access will be maintained. The building is slated to open in March 2009.
  Nassau Street Utility Work and Lane/Road Closures
  On Monday, June 23rd, Con Edison began utility work on the east side of Nassau Street between Beekman and Spruce Streets. The work is expected to continue for approximately four weeks. On weekdays from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., one lane of traffic will be maintained; on weekends from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. a full road closure will be in effect.
