$11-Million Project to Restore Historic SoHo
Contractors will lay cobblestone streets again as part of a reconstruction project in Manhattan’s SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, the city announced Thursday.
The city will spend $11 million during the next two years to rebuild Greene and Mercer streets. The work will include new sewers, water mains, catch basins, street signs and traffic lights, the Transportation Department said.
Because the district was designated a landmark area in 1973, the project will include distinctive street lights and fire hydrants, and the existing cobblestone roadways will be restored by hand.
