""Investing in infrastructure that enhances safety and keeps people and goods moving for many decades to come is essential to the future of Long Island and our state," Hochul said. "This project not only provided immediate upgrades to two bridges that are vital to travel on Long Island, but it will also ensure that these important crossings remain in service for another half century, fostering continued growth and prosperity for our local communities.""
""The bridge joints that traverse the road and cause bumps for vehicles were replaced with ultra-high-performance concrete to strengthen the structures with the hope of creating a smoother, safer ride for motorists, officials said. Repairs were also made to the steel girders and concrete supports to enhance their long-term durability. Both built in the 1960s, the bridges serve tens of thousands of Long Island motorists a day, Hochul said.""
The $8.7 million project rehabilitated the Robert Moses Causeway over Ocean Parkway and the Great Neck Road (Route 47) bridge over Sunrise Highway. Bridge joints and bearings were replaced, with joints made of ultra-high-performance concrete to strengthen structures and improve ride smoothness. Repairs to steel girders and concrete supports were completed to enhance long-term durability. Both bridges were built in the 1960s and serve tens of thousands of Long Island motorists daily. The Robert Moses Causeway provides major access to regional state parks and beaches. The work is intended to keep the crossings in service for another 50 years and coincides with a $36.2 million road resurfacing and safety effort on Long Island.
