New York tracker · Counting since October 12, 2026
New York Tracker
Every road closure, water issue, outage, construction notice and transit alert the city's agencies, utilities and newsrooms reported across New York and the close-in metro, counted week by week. No login, no feed. Just the numbers, and where they landed.
What the numbers say
A steady week on the roads, with New Jersey Turnpike coming up most. Water and power were quiet.
Half of New York's road incidents clear within 1.5 hours. The longest ran 5 days.
Measured from 981 with a start and end time, the last 3 weeks.
Half of New York's construction notices clear within 6.3 hours. The longest ran 6 days.
Measured from 1540 with a start and end time, the last 3 weeks.
Half of New York's transit alerts clear within 85 minutes. The longest ran 17 days.
Measured from 2961 with a start and end time, the last 3 weeks.
Week by week
Construction notices rose from 566 to 670 last week. Road, water and transit have held steady. Power stayed quiet.
Weeks start on Sunday. One thing is counted once per place per day, and something that runs for days counts on the day it started. Brief lane blocks that cleared inside an hour are left out, closures scheduled to run longer than a week are roadworks rather than incidents, an outage counts when it left 10 or more customers without power, and stories about policy or funding are not incidents.
Where New York was hit this week
The places that came up most in the last 7 days.
Areas, most affected first
786 placedWhat the map says
Tap a row to see it on the map.Areas are measured from City Hall in Lower Manhattan: within 4 miles is the core (Lower and Midtown Manhattan and the waterfront across the rivers), within 12 miles (about where the five boroughs end) is that side of the metro, and beyond that is the rest of the metro. Newark and White Plains are their own centres: anything within 5 miles of their downtowns is placed as Newark or White Plains. An item with no coordinates is counted in the totals but not placed on the map. Corridors come from the road a source named. Interstates are split into the stretch north, south, east or west of City Hall, since one number for a whole interstate hides where the trouble is. Districts are the fifty-one New York City Council districts, from the city's GIS. Nassau and Westchester counties and the New Jersey side have their own governments and are shown on the metro map.
Sources are read every ten minutes, and the counts are rebuilt whenever one of them publishes something new. Last counted Nov 4, 9:42 AM ET.
Only what these sources published. Nothing inferred. Counted once when an agency and a newsroom report the same thing.
