The Tribeca Street reconstruction work began in late 2008

As part of its plan to improve and update downtown’s infrastructure, the city Department of Design and Construction (DDC) has launched the capital reconstruction of several streets in Tribeca in November 2008. Under the contract (No. HWMWTCA7A), Leonard from West Broadway to Hudson Street; Greenwich from Hubert to Canal Streets; and Harrison from Hudson to West Street will be reconstructed by contractor Felix Construction.

The project scope includes utility upgrades including water and sewer mains, catch basins, and electric, cable, and telecommunications. Curbs, sidewalks (some pigmented), and roadway restoration will also be done, including repaving with original cobblestones on historic streets.

Work began on Leonard Street on November 3rd, 2008, and followed concurrently on Greenwich just south of Canal in early 2009. Reconstruction of Harrison from Hudson to West Street is started in July 2009.

The entire project concluded in fall 2010.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:	How are neighborhood disruptions being mitigated?
A:	The DDC is working with the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center to keep the community updated on the project, including periodic stakeholder meetings. Issues also can be addressed at the project field office, located at 185 Franklin Street, 6th floor. Stakeholders can sign up for regular email alerts at http://www.outreachny.com/. The city will notify the local community one day in advance of planned water shutdowns. Signs and traffic enforcement agents also will help with traffic and parking changes as they occur, and access to buildings (including ramps) and parking garages will be maintained.
Q:	How is the city helping to preserve historic elements?
A:	Because Tribeca includes a historic district, the DDC is ensuring that vibrations are kept to a minimum around older buildings by avoiding use of backhoes to break pavement, and excavating by hand rather than with heavy machinery. Crews also will repave with cobblestones the streets that originally used them, and rebuild sidewalks and curbs with granite and stone. Inspectors will monitor the work to ensure the integrity of this landmarked neighborhood as streets are reconstructed. Click here for answers to commonly asked construction questions.
