Aside from tax office demolition, tollbooth demolition is surely the most satisfying…?
What could be more satisfying than the destruction of a building dedicated to taking your money? The Metropolitan Transportation Authority offers this pleasure in its video showing the dismantling of disused eastbound tollbooths on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The video records the events of the night of Feb. 1 in jerky time-lapse fashion.
The three tollbooths are the last of 11 on the eastbound roadway to be removed since the work began last year. The eastbound booths have not emptied pockets since 1986, when federal legislation mandated one-way tolling.
