The article presents an update on the construction of the Lincoln Center in New York City. In anticipation of the center's 50th anniversary in 2009, multiple projects are underway to remake much of the campus. With the exception of Alice Tully Hall, which closed for renovation earlier in 2007, regular performances are continuing at all of Lincoln Center facilities throughout the construction. Renovations to the parking garages beneath the Center are also planned for the concourse level beneath the street.

The article reports that the environmental impact statement for a new Hudson River crossing north of New York City is still in draft, but it will exclude an expected mass transit component. State officials decided to limit the project's scope with work on replacement spans for the Tappan Zee Bridge expected to begin as early as fall 2012. The replacement plan for the Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project was one of infrastructure projects tapped for expedited federal review.
