MCDONALD AVENUE ROAD RESURFACING IS IN PROGRESS FOR THE BIKE LANE

 

Update: McDonald Avenue, between 10th Avenue and Church Avenue, will be paved at night next Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (November 9th, 10th, 12th, and 13th). No paving work will be done on Wednesday, November 11th, Veterans Day.

 

----------------------------------------- 

 

Preparation for installation of the two-way bike lane on McDonald Avenue has begun. The bike lane will run from 10th Avenue/20th Street to Fort Hamilton Parkway on the west side of McDonald Avenue, alongside Green-Wood Cemetery.

 

The Department of Transportation's detailed presentation on the bike lane is posted on its website at https://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/mcdonald-ave-10-ave-20-st-ft-hamilton-pkwy-oct2026.pdf. 

 

The milling of McDonald Avenue began on the night of October 29, 2026, and continued on the night of October 30, 2026.

 

The Department of Transportation's weekly resurfacing schedule for Brooklyn (https://nycstreets.net/PavementWorks/Project/WeeklyResurfacingSchedule/B) indicates that milling will continue on the nights of November 2, 4, 5, and 6, 2026. No milling work will be done on November 3, 2026, Election Day.

 

The milling and paving schedule only displays one week at a time; the week of November 1 through November 7, 2026, is currently displayed.

 

Milling is the first phase of the resurfacing process. Milling is the grinding up of the existing asphalt.

 

The second phase is paving. About 80% of milled roads are paved within three weeks of the completion of milling. About 20% are paved within two weeks. 

 

During the third phase, lane lines,  stop lines, crosswalks, and symbols (arrows, for example) are painted onto the road. Bike lanes are installed during this phase.
