A new round of construction is coming to Middle Village this week, as the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) announced the continuation of the Penelope Avenue sewer project.
According to the weekly construction bulletin that was sent to Community Board 5 (CB 5), starting on or about Monday, Aug. 28, DDC will be installing new catch basins and chutes on Gray Street between 66th Drive and Juniper Valley Road, and at the intersection of 77th Street and 66th Road.
Construction on the catch basins and chutes are expected to last until Friday, Sept. 1, and work hours will be between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. However, due to unforeseen field or weather conditions, the work dates and times are subject to change.
As is the case with most construction projects, street access and curbside parking will be temporarily eliminated at the above mentioned locations beginning on or about Aug. 28. Signs will be posted in the affected areas.
Only emergency vehicles will have full access to the streets, and pedestrian access to will be maintained at all times.
Throughout the duration of the construction, DDC will monitor operations and work within Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Noise Code Regulations.
Residents with any questions regarding construction are encouraged to call the Community Construction Liaison at the DDC field office at 718-326-3858. The field office hours are Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
