We want to remind everyone about two upcoming DOT Construction Embargoes in Manhattan that may affect your projects.

See below for details.

The DOT imposes construction embargoes during special events. During embargoes, all active non-emergency DOT permits in the affected area are suspended unless a special waiver is granted by DOT. Emergency work may be performed is an emergency number is obtained by the permittee pursuant to the provisions of section 2-11 of the Department’s Highway Rules which can be found here.
