As part of New York City’s first major bridge crossing since 1964, the $318-million second phase of the Kosciuszko Bridge was completed four years ahead of schedule and on budget, says its team.

In what a Skanska USA-led team says is the first-ever “energetic felling” of a New York City bridge and the city’s largest such demolition of any kind, 25,290 tons of steel remaining on the 78-year-old Kosciuszco Bridge, over Newtown Creek, were brought down on Oct. 1 using 944 small charges, detonated on bridge trusses.
