Eyes on the Street: Progress on Pulaski Bridge Bikeway
Last week DOT posted photos of construction work on the Pulaski Bridge bikeway on the project's Facebook page. DOT is adding a protected lane that will create more room for people who bike and walk the bridge, which connects Greenpoint and Long Island City over Newtown Creek.
The project has been on New Yorkers’ wish list for years, and has been delayed a few times. In August DOT said drainage problems would push the start of construction to next spring, but those issues were resolved within a few weeks and things got started soon after.
It looks like work is moving apace. Doug Gordon tweeted a pic today, and thanked Assembly Member Joe Lentol, a vocal proponent since 2012, for his support of the project.
We’ve asked DOT about the timeline and will post the agency’s response if we get one.
