DOT to reconstruct Gowanus overpass at 79th Street
A major reconstruction project is coming to the 79th Street Bridge, an overpass over the Gowanus Expressway, according to the New York State Department of Transportation, the agency responsible for the work.
Preliminary work is expected to begin within the next few weeks, officials said. The project is scheduled for completion in December, State DOT said.
The 79th Street overpass spans the Gowanus Expressway between Fort Hamilton Parkway and Seventh Avenue. It includes both a roadway and a sidewalk for pedestrians.
