City officials announced a new program in 2026 aimed at maintaining the East River bridges for the remainder of the 21st century.
The effort follows a long‑term repair plan that began in the 1990s after the bridges showed significant deterioration, and it is intended to keep the structures safe and functional for decades to come.
