1010 WINS AUDIO: Pete Tauriello's Traffic Advisory for Brooklyn Bridge
The film is planning to stage the evacuation of Manhattan by barge this week. Police and Coast Guard members will be 
providing security for the scene, which may involve about one thousand extras and a large crew.
Intermittent traffic delays on South Street in the afternoons before 7 p.m. are expected to take place through next Tuesday.
The Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting says the movie would employ about 3,000 New Yorkers.
