The Chambers Street project will stretch from West Street to Broadway

As part of its plan to improve and update downtown infrastructure, the city Department of Design and Construction (DDC) launched the capital reconstruction of Chambers Street in summer 2010. The $24.5 million is planned to take place between West Street and Broadway, replacing the water main and updating other outdated utilities as necessary -- including electric, gas, steam, sewer, and telecommunications -- and rebuilding the roadway, curbs and sidewalks. New traffic signals and signs also will be installed, along with planting new trees.

The official schedule projects completion in early 2014. The first phase is planned for the blocks from West Street to West Broadway, followed by West Broadway to Church, and to Broadway. Details about temporary traffic revisions to accommodate the reconstruction will be posted as they are announced. Together with the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center, the DDC also will host periodic community stakeholder meetings.

The work follows infrastructure work performed by the state Department of Transportation at Chambers and West Streets, as part of the Promenade South Segment 2 project.
