From the Times Ledger:The city Department of Transportation has begun a half-billion-dollar rehabilitation project to restore seven bridges on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn, which is expected to affect Queens residents significantly.
The Queens Borough Board heard in detail Monday about the massive project, which will renew and rebuild the seven bridges, most of which project officials said “have passed their useful life,” dating back to the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt.
The work began last month and is scheduled to be finished by October 2014. The bridges are at Fresh Creek Basin, Rockaway Parkway, Paerdegat Basin, Mill Basin, Gerritsen Inlet, Nostrand Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue.
“Although these bridges are located within Brooklyn, construction on them is expected to have a great effect on many Queens residents while work goes on,” said Maura McCarthy, Queens borough commissioner for the DOT.

No mention of this in the article, but there is in fact a rare species of toad that will be threatened by this work.

Don't tell Bloomturd or he'll have all of the cars toad! Liu said it will be "fine" with him.
used to fish down there in high school. going to be interesting to see how many bodies they find in the mud.
This is a major step in the Commissar's congestion tax plan.
Anyway, the "Toad" Commissar isn't concerned with any other toads threatened by this work.
The "Toad" Commissar doesn't see any threat to himself, so he doesn't give a good-goddamn!
The bridges and general area of the Belt Parkway, from right around Flatbush Avenue through Erskine street, almost rival Flushing Meadows Park's roads in their need of repaving.
