New York – The final installation phase for the new Willis Avenue bridge was scheduled for Monday.
A new 350-foot long span was built to replace the 109-year-old bridge that connects Upper Manhattan with the South Bronx.
The bridge was built in upstate New York and was floated down by a barge last month.
Monday morning, Mayor Bloomberg was set to be those on hand as the new bridge was floated into place.
The bridge should be open to traffic beginning in November.

“Mayor Bloomberg was set to be those on hand”
Can anybody explain that sentence to me?
What YWN meant to write was: “Mayor Bloomberg was set to be amongst those on hand as the new bridge was floated into place, on Monday morning.”
Then again, you probably realized that.
Does anyone know if there will be a toll?
