Perilous faults on the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge: Andrew’s next scandal?

On top of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home scandal and sexual harassment charges comes new cause for concern: an alleged cover-up of serious flaws in the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.
On Monday, the New York Thruway Authority denied any issues of concern over the $3.9 billion span, which replaced the Tappan Zee Bridge in 2017. But a report Sunday in the Albany Times Union alleges that the contractor “covered up†structural problems — faulty bolts — potentially endangering the public, and the authority basically let it slide.
...
It all began with warnings by a whistleblowing former TZC safety manager, who’d seen broken bolts and taped interviews with workers that “appeared to confirm†that the contractor’s team hid the matter from inspectors. The whistleblower claims testing and investigations were far from sufficient, with many key players never even interviewed.
One bridge expert, Ahmad Itani, found “the volume of bolt failures on the bridge to be unprecedented and highly alarming,†the TU reported.
Along similar lines, if you ever have to cross SF Bay, use the Dumbarton or San Mateo Bridge, not the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. At least until the new span is "tested" by a significant earthquake. Thank you Ahhhhnold the RINO and Goobernor Moonbeam!
