"It's a new system for us, but it's become a widely accepted method of preventing steel cable corrosion around the world. - Jamie Torres-Springer, MTA"
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's board approved a significant $249 million project aimed at extending the lifespan of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. This project will involve the installation of a dehumidification system on the bridge's four main suspension cables, a practice recognized globally for preventing cable corrosion. The MTA ensures minimal traffic disruptions during the installation, planning overnight work and off-peak lane closures starting in spring 2026. This preventative maintenance method promises to significantly enhance the bridge's durability by controlling humidity levels inside the cables.
