NYC has a new plan to fix an ailing BQE section. Construction won’t begin until 2029.
New York City transportation officials on Thursday unveiled a new vision to fix a defective section of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway — and said they plan to push back the long-planned rebuild until at least 2029.
In 2018, the DOT proposed closing the promenade and building a temporary highway atop it while they fixed the triple-cantilever, which was built in the 1940s by the infamous New York power broker Robert Moses. But the department shelved the plan in 2019 after Brooklyn Heights residents rallied to save the promenade.
Sam Schwartz, a traffic analyst and former city traffic commissioner, said the idea to narrowly stack the roadway is a bright idea. DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said he’s still not sure if the city will move forward with the latest pitch or choose another one the department presented in the past.
