2015-05-01 08:10:34| Railroads - Topix.net
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is building new ramps to the Brooklyn side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge - adding to what the bridge's original engineer called a "spaghetti pile" of existing ascents - in an effort to speed along drivers on the Gordian knot of interchanges tying the bridge to the Belt Parkway and Gowanus Expressway. "The project will involve the construction of a new ramp which will weave its way through the spaghetti pile formed by the existing and complex ramp network forming the Brooklyn approaches to the bridge," according to a memo from Ammann & Whitney, the firm that designed the bridge and which is overseeing construction on the new ramps.
