Under the Kosciusko Bridge
According to the president of City College of NY, “You can only run vehicles over these bridges and freeways over a period of time before the wear and tear builds up.” Here's a look at the worst bridge collapses in the past 100 years, to aid with your nightmares tonight.

You spelled Kosciuszko wrong. :)
I ride across the Kosciuszko bridge twice a day.
:o(
Is it a coincidence that 6 of the 10 bridges are in the poorest urban area in the country? I'm talking about the South Bronx btw.
I think not. Hopefully they'll invest more now that the area is slllooowly coming up.
Any thoughts?
All the money went into building the new Yankee Stadium. The bridges will be fixed when one of them collapses and tons of people are dead.
Unfortunately its also a heavily trafficked area.
Boo-yah! Our bridges are The Worst! Eat it, other cities' bridges!
I find it frightening that there are at least ten bridges worse than the Willis Avenue. Yikes!
Any chance we can blame bridge wear on bird strikes?
The continued lack of interest of the city or its inhabitants to invest in building and maintaining infrastructure is pathetic.
It's like you people WANT this place to fall apart at the seams :-/
What I don't understand is why it takes so damn long to fix these things. Who's responsible for the foot dragging? Unions? Contractors? The city? The Gowanus Expressway has been under construction for years. Robert Moses would have had that thing done in a week. Why can't they just get the damn things done!?
