Studio for Civil Architecture and Hage Engineering have come up with a proposal to keep noise from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) from disturbing people in Brooklyn Bridge Park. designed the Brooklyn Bridge Connector, which would muffle the sound of the BQE. The project would be made of steel arches and translucent sound barrier shells, covered by a solar canopy. A website has been set up for the proposal, and construction on the section of the BQE which would be affected begins in 2018.
