Posted by BrooklynBus on Mon Jun 19 09:53:02 2017, in response to Re: SBS Will Not Solve Beach Commuter's Headaches, posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Jun 19 08:21:33 2017. In 2003, reconstruction of seven Belt Parkway bridges began including highway sections between those bridges. Those sections were built with shoulders and new entrances and exits, wider lanes, shoulders on both sides and built to expressway standards. When completed DOT will probably try to get trucks allowed on them. Perhaps that is the reason for the design.The project should have been completed last year but is about three years late. Newly completed portions exist between Pennsylvania Avenue just past Rockaway Parkway. The Mill Basin Bridge and Gerritsen Creek Bridge are nearing completion and should be done by the end if the year so there will in effect be a new roadway from Pennsylvania Avenue to Knapp Street. The Nostrand Avenue, Ocean Avenue and Sheepshead Bay Road bridges were also scheduled but I wouldn't be surprised if they ran out of money and they won't be done. Ocean Parkway and I believe Hendrix Creek were reconstructed a number of years ago before this program began. The 69 Street bridge was part of this program. Don't know if the rest of the Belt will be given the same treatment. |
