Background: For 4 years from 1985 to 1989, the tracks on the north side of the Manhattan Bridge were rebuilt. then for 12 years, exept for a 2-3 week period in 1990, the trachs on the south side were rebuilt. Thn from mid-2001 to early 2004, the north side tracks were redone again.
Questions: In what way was the south side of the bridge in such bad shape that it took that long to rebuild existing railroad tracks? In addition, how was it that the first round of redoing the north side so poorly done that it had to be done again that soon?
