Traffic Changes Coming to Atlantic Avenue Intersection

Restani Construction Corp. will lead a month-long project at the Atlantic Avenue and Boerum Place intersection to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility. Improvements include a raised crosswalk to slow vehicles, upgraded ramps, and new accessible traffic signals. Work will primarily occur weekdays from 10:00am to 4:00pm, with occasional weekend shifts from 9:00am to 6:00pm.

During construction, traffic will be reduced to three lanes on Atlantic Avenue, managed by four NYPD traffic agents. The crosswalk west of Boerum Place will close during working hours, and cyclists on Boerum Place between Atlantic and Pacific Streets must share a southbound lane with vehicles. Parking will be restricted on both sides of that block, though building and garage access will remain open.

The project also involves water-main valve relocation and drainage upgrades. While design completion is slated for spring 2027, the exact start date for the fall 2026 construction phase has not yet been announced.
