Over the past few months, only construction projects deemed essential could take place while New York City was all but shut down to contain the spread of COVID-19. However, as the city is engaged in Phase One of the four-part reopening plan, construction has roared back to life. New health and safety protocols are in place at the job sites, but work is back underway and, consequently, bringing new life to the transportation sector as well. Below, see some of the projects where we are most excited to have construction resume.
