  • Innovations & Accomplishments
    INNOVATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS East River Bridges A $2.8 billion reconstruction program is underway to rehabilitate all four East River crossings. In 2002, these bridges carried some 467,080 vehicles per day. In 2002, working in coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies, the Division implemented enhanced security measures on these bridges. This work is ongoing. BROOKLYN BRIDGE The Brooklyn Bridge carried some 121,145 vehicles per day in 2002. The $467 million reconstruction commenced in 1980 with Contract #1, will continue with Contract #6, currently in the design phase and scheduled for completion in 2012, and will end with a seismic retrofit of the bridge, slated for completion in 2013. Work completed on the bridge to date includes reconditioning of the main cables, replacement of the suspenders and cable stays, rehabilitation of the stiffening trusses, and the replacement of the suspended spans deck. The next work scheduled for the bridge is a project to replace the existing travelers with a state of the art technology system. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2005 and conclude in the spring of 2007. Brooklyn Bridge in 1909 Pedestrian Vibration Study The major blackout of August 14, 2003 forced City officials to close the bridge to vehicular traffic and open the entire bridge to pedestrians. During this mass exodus, several pedestrians reported that the bridge was vibrating and thus causing them great anxiety. At the request of the Office of Emergency Management, an emergency inspection of the bridge was performed that evening as a result of these complaints of “swaying”; no structural problems were found.

  • 1 NYC Bridge and Screenline Traffic Volumes Dashboard Metadata
    NYC Bridge and Screenline Traffic Volumes Dashboard Metadata Data Methodology Vehicular traffic volumes are collected annually for a two week period either during the fall months of September, October, and November or during the spring months of March, April, May, and June. Most of these traffic volumes are collected using Automated Traffic Recorders (ATRs), which record each vehicle as it passes over a pneumatic tube. A small percentage are collected using cameras. Average hourly volumes and an average daily volume are calculated from valid midweek days (Tuesday through Thursday). Dashboard Visuals The line graph on the “Average Daily Traffic Volumes per Facility per Year” page (page 1 of 2) represents a bidirectional (where applicable) average daily volume per location dating back to 1981 for most locations. The line graph on the “Average Hourly Traffic Volumes per Facility” page (page 2 of 2) represents the average bidirectional (where applicable) hourly volumes per location. This graph displays the end of the hour for each traffic volume on the x axis. For example, in the year of 2019 for Brooklyn Bridge, the traffic volume of 7,931 occurs during the 11:00 PM to 12:00 AM time period. Similarly, the traffic volume of 5,333 occurs during the 12:00 AM to 1:00 PM time period, and so on. The "Group" and the "Facility" filters will apply to both graphs. The "Year" filter will only alter the "Average Hourly Traffic Volumes per Facility" line graph. Each graph can display a maximum of only 60 facilities (lines) due to a limitation with Power BI.

  • Division Overview
    DIVISION OVERVIEW As an integral part of New York City's Department of Transportation, the Division of Bridges has a two-fold mission: to maintain an optimal transportation network by ensuring smooth mobility on the city's bridges, and to ensure the safety of the public. The New York City Department of Transportation’s Division of Bridges is comprised of five major bureaus. The Chief Bridge Officer is responsible for formulating policy and providing executive direction. He oversees all aspects of the design, construction, rehabilitation and reconstruction, maintenance, operation and administration of the 787 bridges (including 5 tunnels), and 61 culverts presently under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT). In addition to broad supervision, the Chief Bridge Officer also provides overall executive and administrative direction for the Division of Bridges, and ensures that all contractors are promptly paid. Reporting to the Chief Bridge Officer, the Community Affairs Unit maintains liaison with elected officials, community boards, community groups, and civic/neighborhood associations. The Unit takes a pro-active approach in addressing design issues, roadway closures, and detours by reaching out to communities prior to the onset of construction. This enables the Division to proceed with its rehabilitation program with community input, and allows the Agency and its contractors to co-exist in a more harmonious manner with the community surrounding the project. Issues and problems of concern to the communities
