Macombs Dam Historic Swing Bridge Seismic Retrofit Value Engineering Study, Bronx, NY—City of New York, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) Project Background
Macombs Dam Historic Swing Bridge Seismic Retrofit Value Engineering Study, Bronx, NY—City of New York, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) Project Background. Opened to traffic in 1895 and designated a New York City landmark in 1992, The Macombs Dam Bridge is a through-truss swing bridge that spans the Harlem River linking the boroughs of the Bronx and Manhattan. It is the major vehicular route from Manhattan to the new Yankee Stadium, opened in 2009. In addition to crossing the Harlem River, the Macombs Dam Bridge crosses the Major Deegan Expressway, Metro North and CSX railroad tracks, and the parking lot for the Bronx Terminal Market. The 2,540-foot bridge features 78 spans of various types including a 1,362-foot long steel viaduct over West 155th Street; a 415-foot long center swing span with 150 feet of horizontal clearance through the two navigable channels and 28 feet of vertical clearance in the closed position; a 220-foot camelback truss; and several ramps and approaches. A two-stage electric engine powers the swing span. The substructure consists of steel column bents, concrete columns, and masonry piers. The center span rests on a center pier and can swing open to permit boat traffic through one of the two navigable channels. The foundation of the Manhattan pier was sunk on a pneumatic caisson to rock, as was the foundation of the center pier. The Bronx pier was built on rock also, but in an open sheet-pile dam, and from that point across the swamp to 161st Street the plans called for pile foundations.

MEMORANDUM DATE: November 25, 2014 TO: Croton Facility Monitoring Committee FROM: New York City Independent Budget Office SUBJECT: Update on the Costs of the Croton Filtration Plant and Associated Projects At the request of the Croton Facility Monitoring Committee (CFMC), the Independent Budget Office has prepared an update on the costs associated with building the Croton Water Filtration Plant located under the Mosholu Golf Course in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. IBO’s analysis of the city’s capital spending data indicates that the capital costs related to the Croton Water Filtration Plant are now projected to total $3.7 billion. Of that amount, $3.5 billion has already been committed and $157.4 million in additional commitments are planned through fiscal year 2020. Included in this sum are expenses for the construction of the plant, the rehabilitation of the New Croton Aqueduct (NCA), and spending on related mitigation and amenity projects. This memo provides a summary of the project’s current budget and highlights the notable changes that have occurred since IBO’s last update on these costs, which we presented to the CFMC in November 2011. We have also included three detailed appendices. The first appendix presents a summary of the project’s capital costs, along with contract details for the construction of the plant and rehabilitation of the aqueduct. The second appendix provides cost information for each of the related mitigation and amenity projects. (In 2004 the city and state signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that outlined the mitigation activities the city was obligated to undertake to compensate the Bronx for the loss of parkland due to the construction of the water filtration plant.) The third appendix provides a comparison between the current set of mitigation projects and costs, and those outlined in the 2004 MOU.
