"The iconic Riegelmann Boardwalk is set for a full, end-to-end rebuild after the city secured $1 billion to reconstruct the 2.4-mile Coney Island span, according to a New York City Parks Department presentation shared with Brooklyn Paper. The project, described as a complete reconstruction "from piles to topside," will replace the nearly century-old structure's support system, decking, and utilities, while upgrading access points and several adjacent Parks Department buildings."
"Images included in the presentation depict a boardwalk rebuilt to modern standards, with a consistent width of about 80 feet along most of its stretch from West 37th Street to Brighton 15th Street. The plans call for continuous replacement of piles, decking, and infrastructure beneath the surface - a long-anticipated overhaul after years of storm-related damage and costly patchwork repairs."
The city has allocated $1 billion through 2032 to fully reconstruct the 2.4-mile Riegelmann Boardwalk at Coney Island. The project will replace piles, decking, utilities, and upgrade access points and several adjacent Parks Department buildings, rebuilding the structure from piles to topside. NYC Parks will partner with the city's Economic Development Corporation for design and construction. Plans indicate a consistent boardwalk width of about 80 feet along most of the stretch from West 37th Street to Brighton 15th Street. A pre-design study defined technical requirements; design timelines are unreleased and construction remains years away.
