With a cost of over $500 million dollars, the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) will begin reconstruction of seven bridges and their approaches to the parkway over the next coming years.

  • Bay Ridge Avenue
  • Fresh Creek
  • Gerritsen Inlet
  • Mill Basin
  • Nostrand Avenue
  • Paerdegat Basin
  • Rockaway Parkway

The new Mill Basin and Paerdegat Basin bridges will be built along side the existing bridges, while the other ones will be built piece by piece with construction lane closures. The Gerritsen Inlet and Mill Basin bridges will start in 2010.

The Mill Basin Drawbridge will no longer be a drawbridge, rather a fixed bridge with a clearance of 60 feet a huge change from the existing 35 feet.
