Chin up, commuters. (At least those of you who use the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge regularly.) The MTA is looking into possibly widening the bridge and roadways that feed into it, hoping to make your ride smoother. What that all will entail will be revealed in about six months by the MTA’s Bridges and Tunnels Committee. By the way, the original plan was to replace the main cable holding up the bridge, but a 6,000-ton weight loss in 2006 nixed the need for new support.
