BQE rehab plan faces pushback over proposed Furman Street temporary highway near Brooklyn Bridge Park

NYC’s plan to repair the crumbling BQE would close the roadway and create a temporary Furman Street highway along the edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park to handle about 130,000 daily vehicles, drawing concerns about park access, noise, air quality, and parkland use, while officials push the project as a necessary $4 billion, 2040-completion fix that will be refined through public meetings and approvals.
