No parking on Columbia Heights, as BQE interim repairs continue

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced a temporary parking ban on Columbia Heights in front of Harry Chapin Park. Approximately five parking spaces will be unavailable through Thursday, June 11, to allow crews to complete joint repairs on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway overpass following recent paving work.

These efforts are part of a series of interim repairs aimed at maintaining the structural integrity of the deteriorated BQE. This maintenance is intended to extend the lifespan of the BQE "Triple Cantilever" section beneath the Brooklyn Heights Promenade while the city awaits the approval and commencement of a comprehensive $3-4 billion reconstruction project.
