In late July, our crews will begin work on 87th Street between Astoria Boulevard and 23rd Avenue. Construction activities in this area will occur intermittently from late July through November 2026 to support the project.
Starting in June, our crews will begin work on 97th Street, north of Astoria Boulevard, extending into the intersection. This project will strengthen our utility infrastructure and support reliable service. We anticipate the work will take approximately eight weeks to complete.
