Green light for removal of defunct Verrazano-Narrows bridge toll booths.
The obsolete toll booths on the Brooklyn bound lanes of the Verrazano-Narrows bridge have finally been slated for removal. Federal, city, state and MTA officials are working together as part of a yearlong, $2.5 million project to demolish the first eight east-bound toll booths that have not been used since one-way tolling began on the bridge in 1986.
The project also includes removing concrete islands, canopy structures, electronic signs, and concrete and asphalt restoration.
