As part of its Citywide traffic improvement program, the New York City
Department of Transportation has compiled a list of areas where major street
construction or street events will impede the normal flow of traffic.
Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or emergencies. For updated information, see Real Time Traffic Information from New York State DOT or from metrocommute.com.

There are a number of other state and local agencies responsible for some of the street construction work occurring within New York City. Additional information may be available on those agencies' Web sites. For information on New York State road work, visit the New York State Department of Transportation. Visit the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and MTA Web sites for other traffic information at bridges and tunnels. Check who operates other bridges and tunnels. Design and construction functions related to major street and highway projects are performed by the Department of Design and Construction, which provides information on projects in your neighborhood.
Permits for parades, block parties, major street fairs and other public street events are issued either by NYPD or the Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit (CAU). Visit the CAU Web site for a calendar of major street events.
