MANHATTAN - The Houston Street Reconstruction Project is projected to start up in mid-February 2024.
This project will include updates to the infrastructure along Houston Street from the intersection with 3rd Street through the intersection with 4th Street up to the east edge of the intersection with 5th Street.
Phase 1 and 2 of the project will be started and run simultaneously, with Phase 1 being completed within 2 months of the projected start date and Phase 2 taking an additional month for completion.
Phases 3 will start following the completion of phases 1 and 2, which will allow for some of the street and sidewalk access to be reopened, while another portion will be closed for updates.
The intersection at 4th Street and Houston will include updated crosswalks, bulbouts, planters and lighting to continue the aesthetics to tie the area back into the Poyntz area of Downtown Manhattan.
The 400 block of Houston Street will also receive updates to the sidewalks, and storm water infrastructure replacement under the street during the final phases of the project.
The entire project is expected to take approximately 7 months to complete the four phases.
