The MTA has approved a $249 million contract for rehabilitating the suspension cables of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, a crucial link serving 220,000 vehicles daily. A dehumidification system will be installed to remove moisture within the cables to prevent corrosion and enhance structural integrity. The project aims to reduce humidity below 40%, extending the lifespan of the original cables from 1964. Skanska Koch, Inc. will implement this system and additional enhancements over the next four years, contributing to ongoing improvements throughout New York City's suspension bridges.
