Recently, the N.Y.C. Department Of Transportation has been doing work on the Union Street Bridge. According to a public announcement by the agency, repairs to the structural grating deck were to be performed in February and March.
D.O.T. workers were still working on the bridge on Thursday. From the distance, it appeared as though extensive work was being performed. After all, five big D.O.T. trucks were parked on the bridge. Four crew members were intently bent over part of the roadway. It seemed like complicated work.
Except, on closer inspection, the four crew members were cementing a very, very small patch of the roadway. And they were taking turns slowly, slowly, slowly smoothing it out, as one of the drivers seemed to supervise from his truck.
I looked, I really did, but there was no evidence that there was more to the repair work than that little square.
Five trucks and four workers for this? A bit overkill, no?
