NYC DOT Invites New Yorkers to BQE Central Public Meetings

The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) is proposing to rehabilitate BQE Central, the City-owned section of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway (Interstate 278).

The project covers approximately 1.5 miles between Atlantic Avenue and Sands Street in Brooklyn.

The proposed rehabilitation aims to address aging infrastructure, improve safety and reliability, and maintain this important transportation connection for people and goods.

Residents, businesses, commuters, and community members are invited to learn more and provide feedback.
