"One of the most unique features of the bridge is the design of the superstructure underneath the upper level. It's what allows the lower level to exist because, again, not a lot of bridges have that lower level," said Stuart Rankin, Vice President of Structural Engineering at WSP USA, the legacy company that designed the bridge.
"Currently the TBTA has an engineering consultant doing the preliminary design for a main cable dehumidifier station system. Just next year, 2025, the plan is for that project to go to construction," he said.
The MTA says the bridge carried more than 80 million vehicles in 2023, making it one of the busiest in the New York metropolitan area.
Sixty years ago, a ferry was the only thing that connected Brooklyn to Staten Island. That service between the two boroughs ended with the opening of the bridge.
