E.E. Cruz is in the final stage of construction for the $40 million replacement of the Bronx River Parkway bridges at Crane Road. The project involves construction of two bridges, re-profiling and realignment of the approaches, new pavement, drainage structures, striping, guiderail, lighting, and restoration of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation.<\/p>\n

The original \"Bronxbridge was completed in 1925 making the Bronx River Parkway the first modern, multi-lane, limited access parkway in North America. The current bridge has deteriorated extensively requiring costly repairs and has outlasted its useful life.<\/p>\n

E.E. Cruz has constructed the 371 foot-long concrete encased steel \u201cmushroom\u201d bridge over the Bronx River and the first phase of the 93 foot-long precast concrete box beam bridge over the Metro-North Railroad. Traffic has been switched over onto the new bridge. Demolition of the existing Bronx River and Metro-North Railroad bridges commenced in October. After demolition, construction of the remaining portion of the railroad bridge and abutments will be completed.<\/p>\n

Substantial completion is slated for July 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
