Squibb Park Bridge to reopen next spring, 50 percent less bouncy
After being shut down roughly two years ago, bouncy Squibb Park Bridge, zig-zagging downward from Brooklyn Heights to Brooklyn Bridge Park, will undergo repairs, park officials told The New York Times.
Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation’s (BBPC) board will be asked to approve the work when it meets this fall. The bridge should reopen sometime next spring, park officials told the Times.
The popular wooden bridge, which bounced distinctively when people walked on it, was designed by MacArthur “genius”-winner Ted Zoli. Zoli’s firm, HNTB Corporation, is being sued by the park.
