On Wednesday morning, an EVG reader shared these two photos... showing workers outlining lane lines, crosswalks and other traffic markings on the Bowery at Houston...
The reader [sarcastically] thought that the contractors were marking the location for more roadwork.
Checking back in on the intersection... can it be that the never-ending East Houston Reconstruction Project has maybe actually ended???
As noted off and on through the years
The work was initially scheduled to wrap up in 2013 (!!!), but was delayed again and again as the city reportedly ran into problems with existing underground wiring and pipes and unhinged bureaucracy.
The interactive map accessible via the DDC's website now shows a completion date of 12-25-2018!

I've watched this seemingly endless project go on and on. I actually came the conclusion that it was not so much as an actual project as it was a training ground for construction workers. It was a classroom. I guess it is graduation time.
OH MY GOD IS THIS FOR REAL?
I remember road construction lasting years in the mid to late 1990's on bowery/houston and was so relieved when it was finally finished back then...I give it 5 years before they begin again on bowery/houston
It's another Festivus miracle!

It's nothing short of miraculous that we didn't lose more businesses, including Yonah Schimmel's and the Punjab Deli.
