FINALLY: 37th Street Between 14th and 15th Avenue Undergoing Long-Needed Repaving

By Y.M. Lowy

A major project is underway on 37th Street between 14th and 15th Avenues, where crews are repaving the heavily traveled block that has deteriorated significantly over the years.

Brooklyn Square and numerous commercial facilities are located there and with years of constant traffic, particularly from larger vehicles, the pavement was left badly worn, with potholes and bumps.

To allow the work to proceed, the street is currently closed to traffic.

While the closure may cause some short-term inconvenience, the road work addresses an area that many felt was long overdue for reconstruction. Once completed, drivers can expect a much smoother drive through the area.
