The current bridge, completed in 1907, has struggled with mechanical and electrical failures, impacting over 50 trains daily. The new $1.3 billion bridge will feature a larger, more reliable bascule span to accommodate increased maritime traffic and higher train speeds, boosting efficiency. Funded by federal dollars, this project has sparked debates over its cost-effectiveness, especially given the broader infrastructure needs across the region. While modernization is necessary for the U.S. rail system, the question remains: is this hefty investment justified for a bridge that serves a relatively modest number of trains compared to the entire corridor? This video delves into the design, costs, and broader implications of this massive project. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair Use Disclaimer: This video contains copyrighted material used under the guidelines of fair use.
