Summary of Project Status
Final project design, to include new sanitary and storm drainage systems prompted by Hurricane Sandy, is near completion.
It is expected that the final project design and specs will be put out for contractor bids by late June 2013 with construction to start in late summer 2013.
Initial construction will consist of the placement of new bulkheads at the bay end of West 11th, 12th and 13th Roads.
Street raising work will then start initially onWest 12th Road, to be followed by West 11th Road and then West 13th Road.
It is expected that the entire project will take 3 years, with each of the 3 blocks undergoing construction activity for approximately 1 year.
DOT has arranged to designate approximately 75 parking spaces on the Cross Bay Boulevard median to accommodate displaced parking as each street undergoes street raising work.
There still exists some administrative issues regarding completion and submission of work "consent forms" by West 12th Road residents; however these will be resolved promptly.
