heh. i remember the bburg bridge before the renovation. damn, that was a scary ride. the metal plates just didn't have any traction and there were spaces where you could look down through the joints. it quickly made my decision to not commute into manhattan from williamsburg when i lived there.
the bumps are a damn site better than those plates! but i'm glad they're reevauating the bumps. TA kicks butt, and i'm sure they're gonna get rid of them, when is another question.
