The Kosciuszko Bridge Makes it to Jersey City for Recycling

Untapped Cities reader @ChorBazaar shared with us his photograph of the Kosciuszko Bridge, hanging tight in Jersey City before its 26,000 pound steel span gets recycled. Last week, the span was lowered onto two barges and floated down the East River. At its tallest, the original Kosciuszko Bridge span was 300 feet long, 89 feet wide, and 50 feet tall, located along the Brooklyn-Queens border.
