MTA unveils newly raised overpass in Garden City
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- A bridge on Long Island that was repeatedly hit by trucks has been raised.
The MTA unveiled the new overpass Sunday in Garden City.
It now has a 14-foot-5-inch clearance.
The new bridge, which carries Long Island Rail Road Hempstead branch trains over Cherry Valley Avenue, replaces a structure from 1871.
It only had a 10-foot-4-inch clearance and was hit by trucks more than any other bridge in the system.
