Moderately off-topic, but does anyone know when the MTA is going to get around to repainting the Hell Gate Bridge? It looks terrible. Unfortunately red just does not perform well in the sun, and as happened last time, will just start fading in a few years. Hopefully a repaint is planned as part of the MNRR East Side Access scheme and they'll make it 100% again. Some cosmetic masonry work also needs to be performed before this most gorgeous bridge starts to deteriorate further. Dark charcoal or even jet black would look pretty damn cool and a nice substitute for the name-appropriate red.
