| | Lower Manhattan : Houston Street Reconstruction |
 | | Once completed, the rebuilt Houston Street will be home to nearly 20,000 linear feet of new trunk and distribution water mains, as well as new and restored sewers, street lighting, traffic signals, hydrants, pedestrian ramps, and landscaping (including 101 trees). |
 | | Houston Street is one of Manhattan’s busiest crosstown roadways and houses essential utilities beneath its surface. |
 | | Community notification, on-street flaggers, temporary ramps and roadway restorations, noise-reducing measures, and low-emission equipment will be used throughout the project, along with worksite and detour signs and bus-stop relocation notices. |
