In early May, State Senator Tony Avella wrote to DOT regarding the condition of the 150th Street overpass after he noticed large chunks of the wall fallen near the roadside on a trip to Albany.
DOT subsequently informed the Senator that their Division of Bridges examined the location and scheduled it for repair, along with the 147th Street location.
“The foundation wall of these bridges has been in disrepair for years,” said Avella. “However, recent storms have worsened the condition of the wall creating a dangerous situation for motorists.”
