NEW YORK – The New York State Thruway Authority has filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the contractors used for the construction of the Mario Cuomo Bridge, saying dozens of cables didn't meet durability specifications.The bridge connecting Westchester and Rockland counties was supposed to last 100 years, but now, just six years after it was unveiled, 61 of the 192 cables need to be replaced, according to the Thruway Authority, which operates the bridge.
'The company has refused to take further action, so we are proceeding to hire a contractor and consultants to get the work done,' Hoare said.Thruway officials said they have had the cables checked and rechecked by their engineers, and the 140,000 commuters who use the bridge every day are completely safe. They said this is a durability issue; they want the bridge to last at least 100 years, and to do so, the bridge needs cables of a certain strength.
