Modjeski and Masters, Inc. has been providing bridge services to the NYSBA since the 1920's including toll both rehabilitations, structural steel repairs, cable investigations, and deck replacements. We designed the Mid-Hudson Bridge and both Newburgh-Beacon Bridges. We have been providing annual inspections for these structures since 1959. A Maintenance Inspection is performed in alternating years from the required Biennial Inspections for the purpose of reviewing known maintenance problems and detecting any changed conditions since the last inspection. A 100% hands-on visual inspection is made of all fatigue sensitive and fracture critical members during each biennial inspection.

his Harlem River crossing consists of a 416-foot swing span which serves 154th Street, an urban arterial, at the West Approach and the Major Deegan Expressway and Jerome Avenue at the East Approach.  A 1,200-foot adjoining viaduct is also part of the project.
