If you live near the corner of Bushwick Avenue and Siegel Street, your block is being closed across two weekends. Siegel Street between Bushwick Avenue and White Street is shut to through traffic from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday so a contractor can assemble a crawler crane. The closure notice does not say what the crane is for. It is the first heavy machine going up for Echelon Studios Bushwick, a six-soundstage film and TV production complex at 242 Siegel Street, more than twice the size of the Netflix studio a few blocks over.

According to a notice sent to Community Board 1 Brooklyn on June 4 by Kaitlyn DiGraziano, project manager and authorized agent for JC Steel Erectors, the block will be shut from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays from June 6 through June 14, four days across two weekends. A revised notice, filed the day after the first one, pushed the start time four hours earlier (the original opened at 7 a.m.) and added forklift use to the scope alongside crawler crane assembly. Local and emergency vehicles can still reach the block from both ends, DiGraziano noted. The work runs under NYCDOT permit number B152026153A05. A crawler crane is a large tracked lifting machine used in heavy construction, and assembling one takes several days, which is why the street is closed for two full weekends and not an afternoon.

JC Steel Erectors is a structural steel and precast concrete erection contractor founded in 1977 and based in Islip, on Long Island, that says on its own site it has completed over 1,400 projects across the New York metro area, per the company’s about page.
