A new section of the East River Promenade opened in August

In the ten years since September 11, 2001, Lower Manhattan has experienced more than $22 billion in construction projects -- from new construction to conversions, and rehabilitations to capital infrastructure works.
The infusion of federal funding that followed 9/11 prompted many of these public and private works. At the World Trade Center, the public-private partnership of the Port Authority and Silverstein Properties is now actively building across the site. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is beginning to clad the Fulton Transit Center’s main building on Broadway. And the City of New York is replacing century-old water mains with a new network that’s also installing other new utilities and rebuilding roadways and sidewalks.
To highlight some of the work that’s been done over the past year, following is an overview of downtown’s rebuilding headlines.
