The New York City Dept. of Transportation has awarded Skanska USA a contract for the rehabilitation of the Williamsburg Bridge. The $167-million project is funded in part by the Biden Administration’s first round of Bridge Investment Program Grants. The project covers improvements and replacement of the 119-year-old suspension bridge’s aging components.
Expected to be completed in December 2025, the project will also improve transportation flow across the 7,308-ft-long bridge that serves as a major crossing over the East River, connecting Brooklyn to some of Manhattan’s busiest streets.
