Major Repairs Planned for BQE Amid Statewide Paving Push

By BoroPark24 Staff

Key sections of two of the city’s busiest highways are set for improvements as part of New York State’s aggressive road repair initiative following a harsh winter.

State officials announced that approximately 11 lane miles along the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) and the Cross Bronx Expressway will be resurfaced at various locations in Kings and Bronx counties.

The work is part of a broader statewide effort to repair damage caused by months of freezing temperatures, snow, and ice, which contributed to widespread potholes and deteriorating road conditions.

The BQE and Cross Bronx Expressway are among the most heavily traveled routes in the region, carrying thousands of commuters and commercial vehicles daily. Officials say the resurfacing project aims to improve safety, reduce wear on vehicles, and provide a smoother ride for motorists.

The repairs are expected to be carried out during the ongoing paving season, with crews working in phases to minimize disruptions as much as possible.

Drivers are advised to remain alert for lane closures and construction activity along both expressways as the work progresses.
