Liberty Street 
Liberty St. reconstruction began August 2008
As part of its plan to improve and update downtown’s infrastructure, the city  Department of Design and Construction (DDC) plans to launch the capital reconstruction of Liberty Street in summer 2008.

For this Liberty Street project, city crews will excavate, update utilities, and restore the roadway. Together with the Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center, the DDC also will host periodic community stakeholder meetings.
