The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has put forward a recommendation for assessing 68 bridges nationwide, with the Brooklyn Bridge and 10 additional bridges in New York highlighted for evaluation. The inclusion of these bridges, such as the George Washington Bridge and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, signifies their critical status based on the risk level outlined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation officials. Importantly, the NTSB clarifies that this recommendation does not imply an immediate collapse threat, but indicates these structures are beyond acceptable safety margins.
