The Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation (BBPDC) announced that Piers 1 and 6 will not open by the end of year as previously planned. Pier 1 is now expected to open in mid-January, while the completion of Pier 6 is now scheduled for the spring. The BBPDC explained that delays on Pier 6 are due to concerns that inclement winter weather would damage the planned playground and volleyball courts.
