Update on the Third Water Tunnel Project in Lincoln Square
|
The NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) has been managing a capital construction project throughout the Lincoln Square area and the construction isn't over yet! With an anticipated completion date of winter 2017, the latest work scheduled includes connecting the new Third Water Tunnel Shaft, installing new trunk and distribution water mains, replacing specific sewer pipes, private utility upgrades, updating various pedestrian ramps (based on conditions), the reconstruction of curbs and sidewalks in certain locations, and some new traffic signal and street lighting poles.
The DDC work is complete on W. 60th Street between Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue (though look out for some Con Edison work!), as well as on Columbus Avenue north of W. 63rd Street. Work on W. 60th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and West End Avenue continues and should be complete this summer.
In addition, there's more to be completed on Amsterdam Avenue from W. 59th Street to W. 62nd Street and micro-tunneling work for the 48" trunk water main on W. 62nd Street between Columbus Avenue and Amsterdam Avenue. The micro-tunneling is taking place at either end of the block, with a jacking pit set-up closer to Columbus Avenue and a receiving pit closer to Amsterdam Avenue. There are other minor operations that will be performed throughout the area.
The Lincoln Square BID routinely posts project updates on the "News" section of its website. Specific questions about these projects can be directed to Ms. Sanchi Malhotra, the Community Construction Liaison for the project at 646.738.4894 or via email at w60thstreetccl@gmail.com.
