The ambitious 86th street water main and sewer reconstruction project which began last year, covering the stretch of 86th from Shore rd. to Gatling place, appears to be in its most agonizing phase yet.

Aside from stripping the usually log jammed 86th street shopping corridor between 4th and 5th avenue of all parking, the project — which promises to come in at an unusually expeditious deadline sometime later this year — has, in effect, become a 24 hour/7 day a week affair.

Resulting, as demonstrated by the above home video, in no rest for the weary Bay Ridgite.
