Official: FDR Boulevard nearing completion after decade-long work, already easing traffic
Summary
A commissioner said the long-running FDR Boulevard project has been underway for about 10 years, is expected to have sections done by September, and has already removed an estimated 20,000 cars from other roads.
A commissioner reported progress on the long-delayed FDR Boulevard project, saying some segments are expected to be completed by September and that the road has already diverted traffic — the speaker estimated the project has taken "over 20,000 cars off the road" even before final completion.
The commissioner noted the project has been on planning documents for decades and described the current construction as necessary for local traffic relief. He framed the project as an example of infrastructure that takes time to produce results and asked for patience as work continues.
No vote or new funding authorization for the project was recorded during the remarks.
