NYC is in the middle of replacing the:
WILLIS Ave. Bridge (emphasis added)
This is a modest sized structure that currently
crosses between the Bronx and Manhattan.
Anyway, the fun part is that... the replacement
has already been built, up in Albany, and was just
this week (this morning!!) floated down to a pier
right next to NYC.
Over the next year the city will be doing the prep
work at the site of the old bridge, and will then
float the new one into its place.
It's a cool story... lots of good images of the bridge
floating down the Hudson...
Now if Al Roker can meet teh Ringley Bros. elephants
as they come into NYC, shirely WNN can find someone
to christen, so to speak, the new bridge.
Did I mention that this is the WILLIS Ave. Bridge?
