A $36.9 million project is underway to rehabilitate the Fort Hamilton Parkway bridge over the Gowanus Expressway. This initiative includes replacing the bridge deck, making structural improvements, and adding protected lanes for cyclists. Under the project led by Governor Kathy Hochul, which emphasizes safety and accessibility, curb ramps will be upgraded for ADA compliance, and existing bike lanes will be interconnected. The project aims to extend the bridge's service life by at least 40 years. Anticipated completion is in summer 2027, with temporary lane closures affecting motorists during construction.
The rehabilitation of this important bridge along the Fort Hamilton Parkway will help preserve a vital link in Brooklyn's transportation network while also making it easier for people to get out of their cars and travel by bike across the borough.
The project will replace the bridge deck, make structural improvements and add new, protected lane for bicyclists that will connect to existing bike lanes on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 7th Avenue.
