Fifteen
arches, the Dividing Weir Bridge: New
York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) announced the
Dividing Weir Bridge, also known as Fifteen Arches, will be reduced to a single
lane of traffic beginning February 25th, 2015 until the fall of this
year. The century-year-old bridge is due
for repairs. It separates both basins---
upper and lower--- of the Ashokan Reservoir and serves as the only causeway
across NYC’s impoundment. Sometime
during the next decade it will be replaced entirely.
The
landscape below was originally painted as a 5”x7”, but was commissioned to be redone
as an 11”x14”.
