Brooklyn Queens Expressway

The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, or BQE, built by Robert Moses in the 1950s, is an iconic piece of New York City infrastructure that has accommodated car and truck traffic for more than 60 years. As the triple-cantilever structure along Brooklyn Heights shows signs of corrosion and aging, New York City has taken on the challenge of repairing the roadway, spanning from Sands Street in DUMBO to Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill. Iron Horse is currently developing initial conceptual alternatives.
