I mean, yeah, it crosses over a river with active barge traffic.

You say that as if there’s a solution lmao

There are solutions. Build a higher bridge or ban boat traffic that high.

Neither are exceptionally desirable solutions, but they are solutions.

*realistic solutions

Tunnel. Although given how expensive anything like that is in the NYC metro area, it would require a $10 billion budget and still run over.

In fairness, there are bridges like this that operate on set schedules.

People would be fine if it was a fucking bicycle or a pedestrian bridge. Not a $20 toll road.
