nycroads This 6-lane bridge uses EZ-Pass for tolls and handles 105,000 vehicles per day. Starting in 2005, heavy trucks (over 40 tons) "can cross the span only between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM at a maximum speed of 30 MPH." This is because they were cracking steel floor beams. The deck had already been replaced in the 1980s because of cracked floor beams. Between 2000 and 2004, a $23m projected repaired the deck. In 2002, a $10m project rewrapped the main cables and installed a protective islands. |
