The Webster Avenue Bridge in Manhasset has been replaced and is now open for use, the MTA announced on Tuesday, Sept. 23. MTA officials said the work was completed four months ahead of schedule and 31% under budget. Crews worked over the summer to demolish the structure, which was built in 1897, and replace it with a safe and climate-resilient bridge. “Replacing this 128-year-old bridge is an important step toward keeping Long Island Rail Road service safe and reliable in the long term. We’re proud to have finished the job on budget and ahead of schedule,” MTA Construction and Development President Jamie Torres-Springer said.
