Long-delayed blasts finally fells Kosciuszko Bridge.
The old Kosciuszko Bridge, which connected Brooklyn and Queens for 78 years, was imploded yesterday morning.
The controlled implosion of the bridge will free up space to complete construction of the second span of the new bridge.
The old bridge’s main span over Newtown Creek was already lowered onto a barge and removed back in July. Twenty trusses that remain, 10 from each side of the bridge, will be recycled as scrap metal.
