As reported by Brownstoner:
The state sent out an announcement yesterday saying plans to rehabilitate the
BQE are being abandoned because of lack of funds. According to the notice,
estimated costs for the revamp ran from $280 million up to $2 billion. The state
was looking to rehab the section of the expressway between Atlantic Avenue and
Sands Street, and the most expensive proposals involved building tunnels. The
BQE, which opened in 1954, was designed
to last 50 years. A separate proposal to rehab a stretch of the Gowanus
Expressway was also abandoned.
