Demolition Watch: Carlton Avenue Bridge
The Carlton Avenue Bridge is five months into being dismantled before its planned replacement as part of the Atlantic Yards arena and high-rise project.

The Carlton Avenue Bridge is five months into being dismantled before its planned replacement as part of the Atlantic Yards arena and high-rise project. Fortunately when we were taking this picture we didn’t get stopped by some “SUV-driving [woman from New Jersey]” for taking photographs from public property (totally legal), but apparently that happens relatively frequently around the Atlantic Yards footprint. Construction on the bridge is expected to last another 19 months.

D-O-N-E-D-E-A-L!!!
Just for the record, it isn’t 24 months to rebuild a bridge. It is two years to lower the level of the railyard, re-route the track from the yard into Atlantic Terminal, make whatever structural changes are needed to support the platform that the planned buildings are going to sit on AND rebuild the bridge.
Right on 4:08’s.

Hey, G, are you so devoted to “Done Deal” because backroom deals are the only way YOU get anything approved? We all know it is! And we also know when this thing finally is abandoned by Ratner you’ll just keep your mouth shut for about 10 seconds before moaning about what a miscaraige of justice has been done.
HA!
No rush on that bridge, 2:59, as King Kong has refused to do his next movie shoot atop it. The Empire State Building circa 1933, well, that was the first movie and therefore warranted expedited construction.

18 months to build the Empire State Building, 24 months to rebuild a block long bridge.
