NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The Whitestone Bridge reopened at around 7 p.m. Friday -- six hours after a construction truck crashed into an overhead road sign sending the sign crashing onto the roadway.
Shortly after 1 p.m., a boon truck driven by a MTA Bridges and Tunnels contractor struck an overhead sign on the Queensbound (southbound) plaza of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge near the Queens anchorage, according to the MTA.
The impact took down the sign and the gantry -- the metal system that supports signs -- blocking all five lanes (three southbound and two Bronx-bound lanes, and closing the bridge in both directions.
