Field Report: Anoth­er new bridge

Last Octo­ber we report­ed on the instal­la­tion of the west lift bridge at Sois­sons Land­ing. Now she has a brand spank­ing new sis­ter in the east slip. The bridge was float­ed in from Bay­onne and is now being put through her paces of all the ups and downs required to work with the fer­ry boats. [gallery type=“slideshow” ids=“6761,6756”] When you make your way to Gov­er­nors Island from Man­hat­tan over the week­end, take a moment to notice our new lift bridges!
