117-year-old Sheep Pasture Road bridge in Port Jefferson is in danger of collapsing, Brookhaven offi

Brookhaven Town officials say a century-old Port Jefferson bridge is a "ticking time bomb" that is in danger of collapsing because of eroding wooden support beams.

The Sheep Pasture Road bridge, which is jointly owned and maintained by Brookhaven and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, is not sturdy enough for emergency vehicles and rush-hour traffic, said town officials, who have called on MTA officials to support efforts to rebuild the span.
