The project is part of the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) program which is focused on safeguarding the areas against rising sea levels and hurricanes.

According to details, the three-and-a-half-mile-long flood wall will be made of steel and concrete, stand 16 feet tall, and feature flood gates that can be closed during a storm surge. 

The project will also include a new waterfront promenade, green spaces, and improved nearby infrastructure.

Charlie Whitney, Vice President at Turner, said, “Strengthening the resilience of Battery Park City and surrounding areas through a world-class solution that addresses storm surges, rising sea levels, and the threat of climate change will have a profound, positive impact on this vibrant community and much of lower Manhattan.” 

Construction for the project will begin in spring 2023 and will be completed by 2028.
