When New York state Sen. Rob Rolison heard about the results of a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) bridge safety report, he wanted to know what was being done to address it. It recommended new safety evaluations following the collapse of a Baltimore bridge after a ship collided with it last year. Thirteen bridges in New York are included in the report.
“We just have to make sure that everything that can be done to make sure that they travel safely [is done]... These bridges carry lots of cars over the major transportation corridors," Rolison said.
Rolison, along with fellow state Sens. James Skoufis and Michelle Hinchey, wrote to the state Department of Transportation last week asking for safety evaluations to be done.
