Smooth sailing
for 3rd Ave. Bridge
BY AUSTIN FENNER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
West span of old Third Ave. Bridge, which
connects the Bronx and Manhattan, is removed yesterday to make way
for a new bridge. The new span is expected to be finished by
April.
So long, Third Ave. Bridge.
The aging and corroded bridge connecting traffic from E. 135th St. in
the Bronx to E. 129th St. in Manhattan is being dismantled to make way for
a new one.
When the span was built, it was the end of the horse-and-buggy era.
Yesterday, many of the 21st century's high-tech advances were brought
together as workers reached a crucial stage in taking the old structure
down.
A 1,000-ton supercrane called the Chesapeake 1000 dangled an 850-ton
piece of the bridge above the Harlem River for more than two hours
yesterday before gently lowering it to a barge.
The painstaking and dangerous operation involved six tugboats, 13
barges and dozens of ironworkers, who placed their bodies and souls
directly underneath the metal bridge piece.
Crane operator Frank Anthony sat in the crow's nest of the Chesapeake
1000, pulling a series of levers on the yellow water-borne crane.
Anton Stackow was at the helm of the tugboat American Muscle, which
orchestrated the delicate shuffle of boats and cranes and barges.
"This is the last large piece," said Stackow. "The
ironworkers are staying under the load. They will direct it and center
it."
On land were Robert Marriott, superintendent of the city Department of
Transportation's main contractor on the project, Kiska Construction.
They were checking and rechecking the boats' positions so workers
remained safe and the temporary bridge carrying cars from the Bronx was
not damaged.
"It's a lot of weight," said Stackow. "If you shock the
load too fast, you can snap the boom."
The floating derrick glided south down the river with its load, and an
empty barge was maneuvered into place.
Just before the piece was brought down, ironworkers walked just 5 feet
beneath the hovering piece of bridge, casually eating potato chips and
smoking cigarettes as they placed giant wooden planks on the barge.
"We trust the guy. We trust the engineer," said general
foreman Jim Kleinschnitz, 42, referring to the crane operator. "Some
guys you don't trust, and you don't get underneath."
The DOT's chief engineer, Henry Perahia, said the $118 million project
should be completed in April 2005.
A man who allegedly falsified his credentials to testify as an expert witness
on electrical engineering matters in a Bronx civil suit has been charged with
grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing.
If convicted of the charges, Michael Newman, 67, of Woodcliff Lake, N.J.,
faces up to seven years in prison, New York City Investigation Commissioner Rose
Gill Hearn said yesterday. The suit stemmed from an apartment fire in a New York
City Housing Authority (NYCHA) building.
Outside counsel for NYCHA, a defendant in the suit, hired Mr. Newman, who
represented that he was a professional engineer licensed in New York and New
Jersey, Ms. Hearn said. Once his alleged falsifications were discovered, NYCHA
had to withdraw a motion for summary judgment it had filed. The case settled in
May.

A
WESTCHESTER FILTRATION PLANT
on
BronxTalk AM
The
president of the Jerome Park Conservancy will present a detailed rationale for
why the Croton water treatment plant should be built in Westchester County on
the Tuesday, April 6 edition of BronxTalk AM, BRONXNET's popular
daytime television talk-show.Beginning
at 10:30am on channel 67, Anne Marie Garti, who has extensively studied New
York City’s water supply, will be interviewed by host Gary Axelbank.She’ll explain why cost, construction impacts, land use issues, and
the need for clean water all point to Eastview in Westchester County as being
the most sensible choice for the location of the Croton filter plant.
The
interview with Ms. Garti is a must-see for elected officials, journalists, and
members of the general public who have incorrectly assumed there is no viable
alternative for this project other than building it in a Bronx public park and
adjacent to densely-populated Bronx communities.The Westchester plan she supports is fully studied in the Department of
Environmental Protection’s Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement, which was released a few months ago.
BronxTalk AM is broadcast each weekday from 10am-12noon
on BRONXNET's channel 67.It is
hosted by Gary Axelbank and produced by Jane Folloro.BronxTalk AM is repeated each evening from 10pm-12mid.Those who cannot watch the interview with Ms. Garti during the live
telecast can catch it that same night at 10pm or watch it on the Internet at www.bronxnet.org.
