This month, my office met with the DOT Commissioner, and we are *FINALLY* getting some good news that work is set to resume on the 17th Avenue Pedestrian Bridge.
Work will resume on Monday, July 27th. This will require single-lane closures along the Belt Parkway in both directions from 10am - 2pm, with at least one lane of traffic maintained at all times. Plan for some delays if you travel within these hours. This portion of the work will last until August 21st.
Rest assured my office has made our complete and utter frustration known directly to the Commissioner, and we will be staying on this project to make sure it sees its completion ASAP.
