Traffic never pauses on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Yet critical infrastructure upgrades are now underway, with union contractors and carpenters with the New York City District Council of Carpenters executing complex structural work inside one of the region’s most active transportation corridors.

The project is being delivered by VNB Construction, a joint venture led by Defoe Corporation and Restani Construction, overseeing significant improvements to both the bridge structure and adjacent Belt Parkway ramps.
