West Street permanent roadway installation

Beginning Friday night, August 8th, the state Department of Transportation (SDOT) will reopen Warren Street in Battery Park City (BPC) between West Street and North End Avenue. However, upon reopening, Warren Street will temporarily be made one-way eastbound to allow vehicles to access northbound West Street. Parking will be fully restricted.

The change accommodates eastbound traffic in BPC while the left turn from Vesey Street onto northbound West Street is prohibited through late November 2008. (Read that traffic alert here.) When utility and roadway-reconstruction work at Vesey Street is complete, Warren will be reopened to its original traffic pattern.

SDOT advises motorists to use Chambers, Murray, or Vesey Street to access North End Avenue and Battery Park City during this time. These traffic changes are part of the West Street Promenade Segment 2 project, which is slated for completion in late 2009.
