Yonkers Rebuilds Bronx River Parkway Spans Built in 1951, the Bronx River Parkway Bridges are ready for a complete tear down. The bridges have become a choke point for passengers who are traveling the Bronx River Parkway. The new bridges will rise in the footprint of the old ones as a roomier, more modern, safer version of the old. They will rise 30 ft. above the busy thoroughfares of Morris Park Avenue and East 180th. The cost of the project will be approximately $517 million, with the completed bridge delivered in 2029. Yonkers Contracting has handled complicated bridge builds like this one before. Anthony Sarvaideo is the project manager of the Yonkers Contracting team for this complex staged project. His construction team plans to demo northbound lanes of the bridge to build new northbound spans. The workers will shift traffic, then demo the southbound lanes for a rebuild of southbound lanes. Finally, the team will demolish the existing bridge that runs between the current bridge spans. The new parkway will carry noncommercial traffic and eliminate much The team will use gantries mounted on the rails in the launch beds to pre-assemble the steel

Not Letting the Train Leave
States Rapidly Financing Local, Regional Transit Projects Transit is a crucial element of the nation’s total infrastructure investment.

But many states aren’t waiting on federal funds and instead are moving forward with transit projects that will have regional benefits.
