As part of its Citywide traffic improvement program, the New York City Department of Transportation has compiled a list of areas where major street construction or street events will impede the normal flow of traffic.
Schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or emergencies.

There are a number of other state and local agencies responsible for some of the street construction work occurring within New York City. Additional information may be available on those agencies' Web sites. For information on New York State road work, visit the New York State Department of Transportation. Visit the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and MTA Web sites for other traffic information at bridges and tunnels. Check who operates other bridges and tunnels. Design and construction functions related to major street and highway projects are performed by the Department of Design and Construction, which provides information on projects in your neighborhood.
Permits for parades, block parties, major street fairs and other public street events are issued either by NYPD or the Office of Citywide Event Coordination and Management (CECM). Visit the CECM web site for the Citywide events calendar.
Emergency street closures may be ordered by the New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) or the New York Police Department. Visit the OEM and NYPD web sites for information.
