Video – Slow goodbye to Kosciuszko Bridge…

Film captures delicate process of removing bridge truss.

The central section of the crumbling old Kosciuszko Bridge was lowered down to the Newtown Creek below on Tuesday and floated down the Newtown Creek Wednesday, according to the contractors.

The slow process started Tuesday when crews used cables to lower the span — 300 feet long, 89 feet wide and 50 feet tall at its highest point — onto two barges.
