How can I learn NYC's street repair status?

Is it possible to learn the scheduled start/stop of road repairs in New York City? They're always fixing roads, and every once in a while another stretch is 'scratched' up (whatever it is that they do,) and is a pain to drive on and downright scary to bike on.

Is there a place to find out when these projects are scheduled for? When they're at least supposed to end? All I could find with Google was bridge and tunnel status, nothing about regular street.

Should anyone have specific current information, right now I'm concerned mainly with Bedford Avenue from approximately Willoughby to Flushing, as well as the few blocks of Flatbush Avenue that are currently scratched.

Thanks!

Best answer: I think this is close to what you're after, but you may not find out exact target finishing dates without a phone call, I think. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/resurfintro.shtml

Best answer: call 311 and ask if the city has that data

Yeah I would call 311. They would have a better answer to that question that metafilter.
