Part of the dismantled City Island Bridge, which was taken out of service
in 2015, will become an artifi cial coral reef off of the coast of Long Island.

New life: City Island Bridge
steel, concrete to bolster reef
BY PATRICK ROCCHIO
Part of the old City Island Bridge
that served the community for over a
century is getting a second life.
The NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation is using some
concrete and steel from the former
bridge, which was decommissioned
in 2015, to expand an artifi cial reef
located on the Hempstead Reef in the
waters off Long Island.
Under the guidance of DEC, and
as part of a New York state effort to
expand marine wildlife for a richer
and more diverse underwater ecosystem,
47 steel caissons that are 34
feet in length that once supported
the City Island Bridge were deployed
to the underwater reef.
“These concrete and steel bridge
materials will enhance the local
marine habitat and fi shery populations,
benefi tting both anglers and
divers frequenting New York’s artifi
cial reefs,” said Basil Seggos, DEC
commissioner, of the latest addition
to the agency’s Artifi cial Reef Program.
Seggos said that NYC Department
of Transportation and Tutor Perini,
the contractor who deconstructed
the 1901-era bridge and built its modern
replacement, collaborated “in
helping to secure these materials for
an innovative and creative use that
would have otherwise seen them end
up in a landfi ll.”
Barbara Dolensek, City Island
Civic Association vice-president,
said that the residents she spoke to
were pleased by DEC’s plan.
“Everyone that I spoke to is glad
that the City Island Bridge is being
put to some good purpose,” said Dolensek,
adding “they are pleased to
hear that they are not just throwing
the bridge away.”
Tommy Breen, who along with
his brother James Breen, made a
documentary fi lm about the bridge
reconstruction called ‘The New City
Island Bridge,’ also was supportive
of the idea.
Breen said that much of what is
being used in the artifi cial reef, including
pilings and large box beams,
were installed as part of a major renovation
of the turn-of-the-20th century
bridge that took place approximately
45 years ago.
These materials supported the
bridge’s foundation, he said.
Breen said that the reuse of these
materials for an artifi cial reef puts
them to a benefi cial use. Based on
his knowledge it is diffi cult to separate
integrated materials like these
for recycling.
Another factor that contributed
to the reef project was that the materials
were already on a barge.
“It is going to help wildlife, so
why not do it,” he said.
Putting the super structure portion
of the bridge in the reef would
probably not be an option because
it might contain remnants of lead
paint that could be damaging to the
environment, he said.
Paul Mankiewicz, a biologist who
lives on City Island, said that the
artifi cial reef created by the bridge
will improve the sea environment
because organisms that are part of
the food chain will grow on them.
He also believes similar structures
can be reused in other innovative
ways.
“We should really look at these
kind of things to protect the coast,”
he said, adding similar reused materials
could be repurposed as barriers
that divert or slow down water
surges caused by major storms.
