Broadway Construction

   As you will see in the photos below Broadway at the corner of Van Cortlandt Avenue is under construction. The Department of Design and Construction is replacing a water main that will go from Broadway to the Jerome Park Reservoir, so Con Edison is replacing gas piping, and Verizon is putting in new Fios infrastructure. This combined construction joint effort is what is needed more often, as our streets are so often dug up for one reason or another by a city agency or utility company leaving patches and depressions in the roadway, sometimes even after a street has been completely repaved by the DOT. By the way the MTA is doing track work on elevated #1 subway line that runs above Broadway.

Here supervisors from the DDC, Con Edison, and Verison check the progress of the construction work.
