Flood Mitigation (new bulkhead/street raising) information from DOT's website

Although we have seen this presentation several months ago, it is now formally posted on the NYCDOT website.

DOT has is in the process of awarding the contract(s) for this project at this time.




Reconstruction of Broad Channel

Project ID:  HWQ1182A

Due to regular and sometimes severe flooding, West 11th, 12th, and 13th Roads from Cross Bay Boulevard in Broad Channel, Queens, will be reconstructed at a higher elevation. In addition, new bulkheads will be constructed at the bay end of each street. These streets were selected due to their low grades and their susceptibility to flooding during high tides. This project will decrease the amount of time that the streets are flooded, decrease the frequency and severity of the flooding, and enable the water on the streets to drain back into the bay through the use of one way valves.
