New Harlem Bridge Begins Instillation Today

The prefabricated bridge that you may have seen floating up and down the East River is officially being installed today. The new Wills Avenue Bridge will replace the 109-year-old span across the Harlem River. In a story from NBC New York, city Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan commented that while the new bridge might not be the iconic Brooklyn Bridge this new Wills Avenue bridge is a work horse and will carry more than 70,000 vehicles a day from Harlem to the South Bronx. It is not every day that we see a new bridge floated into place and ready for use in such a short amount of time. You can read the full story here.
