How much do they charge for using the toll bridge?

They actually did a similar thing in St Louis when they were putting the final piece in the gateway Arch. They had scheduled it for a particular time in the morning when the metal will be contracted to the right size but they were about two or three hours behind so they ended up using fire trucks pouring water onto the base of the legs to cool and shrink it and ultimately get the final piece in

I happened to be on the bus that day when I saw it pulling away apart

I refuse to believe pouring water on the tip of the bridge is an actual solution. The underside of the bridge can't possibly heat up enough to cause enough expansion for the interlock to fail. If anything, the latch on the land side would need to be cooled if it were hit by direct sunlight during the open. There's going to be some unrelated issue actually causing the problem when the investigation concludes -.-

Does anyone know if greedy NYC halted tolls for that day?

mta: no congestion pricing? no problem

Is this the first ever this has happened? Or is this a common fault for the bridge that occurs every summer? -they appear to have a procedure for this. -news has been pushing the 'heat dome' thing of late, but failed to mention if this is a recurring problem or not. I therefore conclude this is a recurring fault, thus not meriting any special attention. That may be a wrong assumption on my part, but it comes out of the news agency failing to provide sufficient context for a national/international audience.
