Median extension at Astoria Blvd. N completed
The DOT has completed a long-awaited traffic safety improvement at the intersection of 32nd Street, the Grand Central Parkway, and Astoria Boulevard North.
The renovation extends the existing median barrier between Astoria Blvd North and the Grand Central highway exit ramp to separate traffic through 31st Street.
“This intersection was dangerous and confusing,” Assemblymember Aravella Simotas said in a statement. “Motorists from the area dreaded crossing multiple lanes of traffic to get home and drivers new to the area had no idea how to get where they were going.”
