"The iconic Riegelmann Boardwalk is set for a full, end-to-end rebuild after the city secured $1 billion to reconstruct the 2.4-mile Coney Island span, according to a New York City Parks Department presentation shared with Brooklyn Paper. The project, described as a complete reconstruction from piles to topside, will replace the nearly century-old structure's support system, decking and utilities, while upgrading access points and several adjacent Parks Department buildings."
"Images included in the presentation depict a boardwalk rebuilt to modern standards, with a consistent width of about 80 feet along most of its stretch from West 37th Street to Brighton 15th Street. The plans call for continuous replacement of piles, decking and infrastructure beneath the surface a long-anticipated overhaul after years of storm-related damage and costly patchwork repairs."
The Riegelmann Boardwalk will undergo a complete end-to-end reconstruction funded with $1 billion secured by outgoing Mayor Eric Adams and Council Member Justin Brannan. The 2.4-mile project covers full replacement from piles to topside, including the support system, decking, utilities, upgraded access points, and several adjacent Parks Department buildings. NYC Parks will partner with the Economic Development Corporation for design and construction. Images show a modernized boardwalk about 80 feet wide along most of its length. A pre-design study defined technical requirements; design timelines are not released and construction remains years away with funding through 2032.
