Traffic Changes
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The bridge over the L.I.R.R. at the intersection of Metropolitan Avenue and Fresh Pond Road was constructed
in 1915 by the Long Island Rail Road. It is the result of New York State ordering the removal of the grade
crossing at this location for safety reasons, since the rail tracks were at ground level. Over the course of the
bridges 101 year lifespan, it has received numerous overlays of asphalt and steel plates have been installed as
mitigation steps to remedy the deterioration of the deck of the bridge.
