No funds have been officially earmarked for the project, authorities said. "As of right now, there is no funding in the (state) budget," said Jessica Proud, spokeswoman for Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who has been pushing for a quick start on the project. "We've asked the governor to put it in his five-year capital plan, but it's not, yet."

How corrupt. They could include a single-track rail connector on the bridge for that $5.2 billion, too, if not for their corruption. (They wouldn’t have to pay NJ Transit any more for running to Port Jervis, then, and the trains could go right to Grand Central. But who wants to save the taxpayer any money, eh?)

How much would it be with Chinese steel? You know the kind that’s mixed with sand for a filler.

This bridge is a toll bridge. So why is the government looking about replacing it.
