Construction Impacts

Because one Tram station and two of the three towers are located in Manhattan, traffic on Second, First and York Avenues will be sporadically affected as will traffic on 59th and 60th Streets, and the Manhattan bound upper roadway of the Queensboro Bridge. All construction work, including use of cranes will be pursuant to NYC Buildings Department permits and regulations. All lane closures and traffic interruptions will be pursuant to NYC Department of Transportation permits and regulations. All NYC agencies with health and safety review responsibilities will retain jurisdiction over this NY State sponsored project.  Street closures will be announced prior to occurrence through NYC DOT alert system.
