The New York City Police Department today announced street closures related to the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon. Street closures and parking restrictions are expected to cause traffic delays. The use of public transportation is highly recommended.
Beginning at midnight on Sunday, November 6th the upper level of the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge will be closed to vehicle traffic. At approximately 7 a.m. rolling street closures will commence along the route in preparation for the marathon. Prior to taking their starting positions on Staten Island, runners will be screened and their bags inspected. The New York Road Runners has provided the participants with clear bags to expedite this process. Individuals who require event credentials and special access to secure areas, such as organizers, volunteers and other personnel, have been pre-screened in addition to the physical screening they will receive on Sunday.
Bag checks and magnetometer screenings will be conducted in the area of the finish line. Finish line spectators can help expedite, if not alleviate some of the security process, by leaving backpacks at home.

Don’t you mean Saturday at midnight, not Sunday?
Fixed.
We quoted NYPD, presumably they meant Saturday at midnight.
Correction needed in your article the closings will start Saturday night at midnight not Sunday night
No correction needed. Midnight, or 12am, is the start of the first minute of a day.
So 12am – midnight – Sunday is accurate.
Convention is screwy. We say 12:00 AM for midnight, but think of midnight as the end of the day. If you say “be home by midnight,” you don’t mean 24+ hours after 11:59 PM.
Police just said midnight. Refixed.
Verrazzano has two z’s. This is not a criticism of any kind. Thank you.
when is a spelling correction ever a criticism?
Do we blame the cops or just fix it? Both. And thanks for your kindness!
Dont feel bad. The DOT misspelled it for decades – from opening to 2020.
Hope all are safe.
