Fraud! Fake news! Misrepresentation! #53 Clody Farmway Bridge (Melville Sand Pits) is in Suffolk County (the county line is at the fence between the Restoration and the sand pits)! Sam, III
From Art: Thanks for fact-checking Sam! Duly noted and changes made.
Art, Has anyone commented on the length of the Parkway bridge over Central Ave./LIRR at Bethpage? The three span Parkway bridge over Westbury Ave. in Mineola is less than 80 feet across. the one over Central Ave./LIRR is between 96-100 feet. Anyone?
Al, a construction schematic indicates the girder’s size at 106’ 0” on the west side, and 105’ 2.5” on the east. The 1926 aerial measures the bridge’s shadow at 107’.
