“Home to one of the largest food distribution facilities in the world, the Hunts Point area is critical to the societal health of New York City and the surrounding region,” said Mark Fialkowski, president, mobility solutions business unit for Parsons. “This project, which is representative of the environmental and social focus of Parsons’ portfolio, will benefit from upgrades that improve accessibility and enhance pedestrian safety through innovative infrastructure solutions that incorporate sustainability and resiliency to serve the needs of the South Bronx community.”
The effort will improve travel through the corridor by increasing the number of through-lanes on the elevated Bruckner Expressway, at-grade improvements to Bruckner Boulevard, and converting ramps between the Bruckner Expressway and Sheridan Boulevard to right-hand movements.

Additionally, a new 117-spot parking lot with 24 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, including four rapid charge spots to better accommodate EV drivers, will be constructed under the Bruckner Expressway and help advance the region’s sustainability and air quality goals.
