Major capital reconstruction work on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway's crumbling cantilever is now not expected to commence until 2028, city officials said.
Major capital reconstruction work on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway’s crumbling cantilever in Brooklyn Heights is now not expected to commence until 2028 at the earliest, Department of Transportation officials conceded on Wednesday — two years after the last administration said the span could be unsafe for travel.
The 2028 start date for construction is a year later than the timeline DOT presented to the public before the feds declined to fund the project. Ochoa did note that City Hall could “move the money up” if circumstances allow for an earlier start date.convened by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio warned the Robert Moses-era triple cantilever could be unsafe for travel as early as 2026., which would either partially or completely reconstruct the cantilever’s retaining wall and cover up the unsightly expressway with greenspace connecting the Brooklyn Heights promenade with Brooklyn Bridge Park.
