Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jul 24 19:43:22 2007, in response to Re: Brooklyn Dodgers (on topic), posted by WillD on Tue Jul 24 15:42:20 2007. The Wantagh Parkway is an original 1929 road, never rebuilt. Those are 1920's designed bridges. There was no way to see in the 1920's what buses would become when people were still riding on streetcars, and streetcars were perhaps in their prime yet. When the Southern State was widened, yes, the new bridges were built basically as twins to the old ones. The bridges were NOT rebuilt, they just added a twin next to it, and the new bridge became the reverse traffic lanes. What good would it have been to build them higher? They still would have been the original bridges on the other side of the road.All this is quoted from a book with a vendetta against Moses. Let's seem some sources (that don't quote "The Power Broker"). When a book is written, it can be made with a certain spin depending on the author's goals, beliefs or opinions. |
