Generally Speaking: Bay Ridge Avenue Bridge finally completed
Finally! It took over two years for the construction company hired by the New York City Transportation Department to raise the Bay Ridge Avenue Bridge a couple of inches, widen the traffic lanes running across the Belt Parkway and to repair the deteriorating conditions in the under croft of the structure.
The bridge’s under croft serves as a vehicle entrance to the American Veterans Memorial Pier (formerly called the 69th Street Ferry Pier) and the Owl’s Head Water Treatment plant, as well as a walkway and bicycle path to the Shore Road Promenade. With the new rehab, the good news is the darkened area under the bridge now has its own lighting.
