City officials are considering tearing down Greenpoint’s Kosciuszko Bridge and replacing it with a new structure. The DOT says the 68-year-old bridge, which carries the BQE over Newtown Creek, is not safe enough. The agency said the bridge has narrow lanes and insufficient site distances. Car drivers agree. “It’s a tight bridge to work with,” says one motorist. “It’s hard to really get around on that bridge.” Plans to demolish the bridge are likely to displace some homes and businesses. more [NY1]
