Fulton Street Road and Lane Closures |
| |
http://www.lowermanhattan.info/construction/project_updates/fulton_street_corridor_51132.aspx |
| |
The city Department of Transportation has revised the traffic pattern to accommodate the capital reconstruction of Fulton Street, which began in July 2007. The project will replace Fulton Street’s 150-year-old water main, as well as upgrade utilities and improve the street’s drainage system.
The Fulton Street reconstruction project will continue through 2009 and requires road and lane closures as the project proceeds. Sidewalks will be maintained. The city plans to expedite the curb-to-curb utility work by allowing crews to work double shifts six days a week (weekdays 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.).
For more information on the Fulton Street Reconstruction Project, please call community liaisons Elizabeth Baptiste or Scott Payne at (212) 791-8170, or visit www.nyc.gov/buildnyc. |
