Every year NYC DOT restricts construction via construction embargoes limiting digging in parts of New York City. That has an impact on telecom projects within the area. Some NYC Construction Embargoes can even squash existing permits that you may have you in a jam if you were waiting for a new fiber optic cable to be run to your office on Madison and 25th!

The construction embargo above is called the no dig/dig with caution construction embargo and it started in August 2018. The areas effected are below:

Manhattan

• Area bounded by East 23rd Street on the North, East 15th Street on the South, Park Avenue on the East, and 5th Avenue on the West
• Madison Avenue between East 23rd Street and East 30th Street
• East 28th Street between 5th Avenue and Lexington Avenue

There are four additional construction embargoes to keep in mind for the remainder of the year and into 2019 that have an impact on telecom construction in Manhattan. They are as follow:
