Road construction begins on Monday September 15.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) will begin a resurfacing project on the 72nd Street Cross Drive in Central Park on Monday, September 15 at approximately 9:00 pm.
DOT crews will strip the surface of the drive from the 72nd Street entrance at 5th Avenue to the Bethesda Arcade Monday night into Tuesday morning. They will then pave the surface of the drive Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
