Atlas Evaluation & Inspection completes inspection, testing of Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge

New York, NY Atlas Evaluation & Inspection Services (AEIS) has completed testing and inspection on Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge, an iconic new $3.98 billion twin-span bridge featuring eight traffic lanes with shoulders, dedicated bus and emergency vehicle lanes, and one of the longest bike and pedestrian bridge paths of its kind.

With over 50 million vehicles utilizing the bridge every year, The Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge is three miles in length, making it the longest in the state. It features a cable-stayed span design which opened to traffic in 2018 and crosses one of the widest areas of the Hudson River. 

“We are proud to have partnered with The LiRo Group and The Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge project teams to complete testing and inspection on this incredible project,” said Nagesh Goel, president and co-founder of AEIS. “Since 2008, AEIS has provided inspection, testing and evaluation services across the tri-state area and the nation to create optimally safe outcomes.”

As a leading special inspection agency in the New York Metro area, AEIS was selected to provide special inspections on the bridge, including performing specialty testing and providing inspection personnel.

“As the state’s longest bridge, the new Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge is an incredible feat of engineering, construction and design,” said Vincent Montanti, construction quality control manager of The LiRo Group. “AEIS’ seasoned team was an essential part of the process, delivering top-quality inspection and testing and ensuring a high level of public safety.”

Inspection and testing are valuable tools in ensuring that newly-constructed infrastructure is built in a safe manner, and that any underlying problems may be resolved. By providing quality assurance, safety may be increased.
