In the News: Chambers Reconstruction Is Ending in April

chambers construction 121112••• A rep from the city’s Department of Design and Construction told Community Board 1 that the Chambers reconstruction project will end in April, and that the Hudson one will end in June. (I thought a different DDC rep, at a different CB1 meeting, said that Hudson would end in April, but I may have dozed off.) As for the Broadway project in FiDi, it’s ahead of schedule for now. (The pic is from 2012 but I didn’t see the poin of running out to take a new one; you know what it looks like.) UPDATE: See AliceG’s comment below. —Tribeca Trib

••• “Hudson River Park Trust has permanent space for three historic boats at Pier 25 plus space for one visiting historic boat. Which ships will get these precious berths is up in the air right now.” —Downtown Post NYC

••• “Two famous, historic sailing ships will dock at the South Street Seaport this summer, if Jonathan Boulware, the Seaport Museum’s interim director, has his way. Those ships are the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle, now based in New London, Conn., which serves as a seagoing classroom for U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets, and Hermione, a reconstruction of the 1779 French ship that ferried General Marquis de Lafayette to the U.S. during the Revolutionary War.” —Tribeca Trib

  1. Not so fast on the Chambers reconstruction….the newly installed water main burst this morning on the block between Broadway and Church sending large amounts of water into 80 Chambers/270 Broadway. Apparently they are digging up the street as we speak to re-replace the water main. I think this will never end.
