ROAD RESURFACING SCHEDULED FOR OCEAN PARKWAY

A year after the Department of Transportation's last milling and paving job in Kensington (E. 3rd Street, from 18th Avenue to Fort Hamilton Parkway), the next job will begin: the Ocean Parkway Service Road southbound, from Avenue C to Ditmas Avenue, and the Ocean Parkway Service Road northbound, from 18th Avenue to Caton Avenue.

Milling will begin on the two service roads after these streets have been milled (in this order):

  • 58th Street, from 18th Street to Dead End
  • 59th Street, from 16th Avenue to Dahill Road
  • 51st Street, from Dead End to Dahill Road
  • 46th Street, from 8th Avenue to 18th Avenue
  • 44th Street, from 7th Avenue to New Utrecht Avenue
  • 43rd Street, from 9th Avenue to Dahill Road

The milling of 58th Street will begin on Monday, July 23rd.

Paving will begin about three weeks after milling starts. The numbered streets listed above will be paved first, followed by the Ocean Parkway service roads. Work is anticipated to be finished sometime in August.

The night before a block is scheduled to be milled or paved, the Department of Transportation is supposed to give car owners and drivers notice by posting tow-away/no parking signs on both sides of that block.

However, as July 23rd gets closer, we recommend that you check the Department of Transportation's Brooklyn Milling and Paving Schedule to find out the specific dates the streets will be milled and paved...just in case the signs don't get posted when they should be.

If you can't connect to the Milling and Paving Schedule page directly, go to Weekly Resurfacing Schedule and click on "Brooklyn" under "Borough Milling & Resurfacing Schedules."
