Roosevelt Island Bridge Closure Advisory Over For Now - Return In June
I inquired of RIOC President Steve Shane if the work being done on the Roosevelt Island Bridge last week was completed. Mr. Shane replied:
Yes. All is complete for this round. Expected to repeat for 2 nights at end of June. Back to normal operations until then.

Is there any more news about the 6-12 month tram closure? Is that still hapenning?
Rioc President Shane advises that
"Work is underway on design and fabrication. Spools of cable are to be ready for shipping from Europe by early May. Scheduling of tower work, street and park closures, crane locations, etc. with permitting for everything is ongoing. Met with Community Board 8 Transportation Committee on April 7. On schedule for July 6, 2009 shutdown and December reopening. Thornton Tomasetti has undertaken architectural work in addition to its previous structural engineering engagement. As soon as designs and sketches are available, will make available to the community. Studies of present day code requirements (ADA, fire, electrical, lighting, access & egress, communications, security, HVAC and sprinklers for sub-grade rooms, wind, rain and snow barriers, etc.) as applied to both stations is in the works. The last Tram Emergency Evacuation Drill for this equipment is scheduled for the early morning of April 26. We are coordinating with NYPD and NYFD to develop familiarity with and establish protocols for the new system."
