NYS Thruway Sues Cuomo Bridge Builders

By Mrs. I. Perl

The NYS Thruway is suing the builders of the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge for breaching their contract. 

The agency is claiming that the builders didn't uphold the standards that were put in the contract to ensure that the bridge will be able to withstand the wear and tear that comes with time. They say they will have to inspect the entire bridge and replace and fix the parts that are below standard. 

Thruway officials did assure the public that the bridge is safe, but long term maintenance of the bridge will now be more costly due to substandard materials and methods that were used during construction.
