The Verrazano Narrows, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, George Washington and Outerbridge Crossing bridges were among those the National Transportation Safety Board mentioned in its report.

The National Transportation Safety Board is recommending that 15 New York and New Jersey bridges be inspected for levels of risk collapse from a vessel collision as part of a nationwide call to safeguard bridges from vessel strikes following last year’s fatal collapse of Baltimore’s Scott Key Bridge.
