The project is part of the citywide plan to improve the water supply
The City of New York is working to update its water-supply system, including rebuilding and replacing miles of water mains in Manhattan. The project is extending to Lower Manhattan, where work will take place in north Tribeca around the Holland Tunnel rotunda, on Hudson and adjacent streets. In addition to the water trunk-main upgrade, the city will jointly coordinate infrastructure work with utility companies to improve electric, gas, and fiber-optic facilities.
The DDC’s project community liaison Jamie Corssen manages an outreach program, and is building an e-mail notification list; subscribe by e-mailing hudsonstprojectccl@gmail.com.Call the city’s information hotline 311 (out of state callers dial: 212-NEW-YORK) with questions and concerns.
In addition, the city will post audio notices on 511, the state traffic-notification hotline. Real-time traffic cameras and sensors also will be installed in coming months to help motorists plan their travel.
This long-term project will update the extensive infrastructure network that includes service for water, sewer, gas, steam, telecommunications, and cable. Through the joint-bid process, the project will occur in multiple segments that will remove old ducts and upgrade existing utilities -- improving capacity for decades to come. Mass roadbed excavation, removal of unused facilities and installation of new ones, and roadway restoration will be performed.
