The State of New York DOT has released four potential designs to replace the Kosciuszko Bridge. The picture on top shows the design for a cable-stayed bridge. The picture below is of Boston's fairly recently completed Memorial Bridge. Stealing from Boston? Is this the best we can do? Really?! I mean, I'm a Red Sox fan and love the Pernice Brothers but come on.
My own solution is preserve and repair the existing KB, fabricate a second just like it, duct-tape the two together, a la the Red Green Show, and thus double the capacity for traffic without losing a beautiful piece of engineering and design.
The DOT page also includes goofy video simulation drives for each of the designs with mind-numbing background music.
