City engineers have warned the steel rebar inside the concrete of the highway's triple-cantilever is corroded, putting the entirety of the over 70-year-old structure at risk of failure.

One community volunteer charges the city is purposely dropping the ball to discourage migrants both from staying in New York or even coming.

City sanitation workers and the NYPD dismantled the encampment on Friday morning, loading personal belongings, debris and other material into a trash truck.

Housing advocates say to expect more such encampments if Mayor Adams retreats on the city’s long-standing obligation to provide shelter to those who need it.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the city, Carlos Scissura, head of the New York Building Congress, said.

The DOT warned of “substantial delays” starting Monday as a result of the lane reduction and asked motorists to consider public transportation instead.

Rather than tear down and rebuild the triple cantilever section of the BQE in Brooklyn Heights, Mayor de Blasio will put off the decision for 2 more decades.

Stringer's plan calls for a truck-only highway with a new, vibrant linear park on top.

'The city says they want cleaner air and want to be more pedestrian-friendly and here they are proposing to tear down something that acts as a structural barrier to the BQE...'

A major problem with the roadway is the concrete itself. It turns out it wasn't really designed for heavy trucks.
