The ongoing installation of weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology on the BQE is crucial for the structure's longevity, as it has already drastically reduced overweight vehicle traffic.
NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez highlighted the success of previously installed WIM technology, claiming it led to a 64% reduction in overweight trucks in just seven months.
The closure of the Sands Street Entrance Ramp will accompany lane restrictions, emphasizing the urgency of implementing measures to protect the aging Triple Cantilever of the BQE.
Councilmember Lincoln Restler expressed optimism regarding the WIM technology's role in prolonging the lifespan of the BQE, underscoring the city's commitment to infrastructure maintenance.
