Brooklyn residents are calling on the city to make repairs to a 4.32-mile stretch of road from East New York to Williamsburg.
From potholes to major cracks in pavement, they say the corridor has been in disrepair and dangerous for over a decade.
The corridor consists of about 80 intersections and has been the site of fatalities, crashes and pedestrian injuries.
Local officials gathered in front of Thomas Boyland Park two weeks ago to demand that the Department of Transportation begin repairs.
Estimates put total construction costs at $110 million.
The DOT acknowledged that the corridor poses safety and infrastructure challenges. A spokesperson said in a written statement that it requires a "full roadway rehabilitation."
DOT officials have not yet responded to questions about what next steps will be taken.
