After using a Barrier Machine for many years on the 3-mile-long Tappan Zee Bridge in New York they finally realized that increases in traffic volume were never going to be accommodated with only seven lanes. So they just spent $4 Billion on a new bridge that will initially carry 8 lanes of traffic but, with additional capacity added to the approach roadways, will be capable of moving 16 lanes of traffic. The nearby George Washington Bridge has had 14 lanes for many years.
Dude you got an awesome job I would love to do something like that especially on the golden gate bridge which happens to be one of my favorite of all time so it would be nice to work on it as well
I was heading down the 610 West loop here in Houston the other day. There is a set of concrete barriers that divide the North bound lane and South bond lane. I noticed the concrete barrier looks like a snake. This is where people slammed into it from both sides. Long before the concrete barrier was used we had a fence between the traffic. The city was always working on it. Finally they give up and put the concrete barrier in.
How is keeping the traffic flowing by widening and shortening lanes 'Misspending' ? For that dumbass comment, you are hereby BANNED permanently from using any and all bridges.

wow, typical liberal banning people based on free speech
Damn that guy sticking the cones in! Impressive!
Cool. They had this on the Coronado bridge in San Diego years ago. Glad to see SF using them. Be safe.
This thing is a awesome machine. I really appreciate what it does for the bridge and it looks cool. Thanks for sharing.

Can you do a video on your bridge patrol, the vehicles you drive and the work you do?
good job
I like the standard us buses
That machine make those barriers look like lightweight, but they are not, are they?
I read it weight 1500 pound / 680KG per piece, that's freaking heavy.
definitely need that kind of weight to able to stop high speed collision.
@@nameinvalid69 its meant to deflect.
Hey, thanks for not showing what it does or how it does it. That would be too much information for a video about the machine, huh?
Oh, 'barriers' ..... couldn't understand what he meant 'til I saw them.
What does he do the rest of the day before the night time barrier move ?
Nothing I suppose .
I saw in Another video there was a bus
1:42 dude almost lost an arm
AlertedTooth wasnt even close :D
1:52

Who's here from reddit?

What a waste of everyone's time....
I don’t see how
So it's a make work project? Government misspending at it's finest.
