A prefabricated 350-foot-long bridge that will replace a 109- year-old span across the Harlem River arrived Monday aboard two barges that were pushed and pulled by tugboats.
The 2,400-ton swing bridge passed under the Brooklyn Bridge at 8 a.m., on its way to its home, just south of the old Willis Avenue Bridge. The new bridge will be tied to the shoreline until it is installed, beginning in two weeks.

The city hopes to have traffic rolling across the span in November.
The new bridge connecting Upper Manhattan and the South Bronx will replace a span that opened in 1901 and carries more than 70,000 vehicles a day
