How about a Historic sign and/or a sign stating..possible Video Surveillance.

@ fsquire Nice idea but, the historic sign will do nothing except invite more vandalism. Actual video surveillance would be nice. Recently, someone spray-painted a swastika on the bridge and within days someone painted over it. That action is definitely appreciated. Problem is, no one cares about Shirley especially Brookhaven Town.

Graffiti has once again taken the place of the grey paint job... I travel through that area quite a bit and will one day snap a pic of the offenders...

@fsquire it seems that you and I are the only ones who consider this to be a problem. Maybe we should buy paint and supplies and repaint the bridge and charge the county for the job. Who is ultimately responsible for the bridge? MTA? Brookhaven? Who? Besides the kids who tag the bridge, no-one paints it.

Just to validate some of the claims on here about the Graffiti, here is one picture. I'll post more later. But as you can see, this is not a joke and no-one in the neighborhood takes this lightly. The graffiti needs to be taken care of.

Here's a view of the south side of the bridge... This picture doesn't include a view of the graffiti on the inside of the tunnel where there is also graffiti.

This Train Bridge used to be a beautiful Red Brick Structure...

So, the bridge was repainted about a month back. But as usual, the job is incomplete. You can still see graffiti under the areas that were painted and an entire section of graffiti wasn't even covered over as if the person ran out of paint before the job was finished. The north side of the bridge still has an area of graffiti that hasn't been covered. Do any supervisors go out and check 'completed' jobs? If so, and the supervisor thought this was OK, they need to be re-evaluated for incompetence. Maybe graffiti isn't considered a major issue. But, it is to those who live here and pay taxes.

Since the last update 2 months ago, the bridge still has yet to be completely painted. Now, there is new graffiti on the south side of the bridge. It's nice to know that we'll be able to view this on a daily basis for at least the next few months. Maybe someone could let us know what type and color paint is used so we could take care of the bridge on our own?

The local artisans are back at it. Check the attached pic for what we get to see on a daily basis. The picture was taken the morning of 12-13-2011. This graffiti has been here since the weekend. In case you can't see the pic, someone tagged to bridge with the words 'Fcuk police', 'Mil3, a swastika and a few other scribblings. Someone decided to spray over the words 'police' but, left the other choice word in place. Driving by it on Monday night, my 6 year old son decided to read what he saw on the bridge. so, not only do we have to see it on a daily basis, I know how the memory of my son reciting the word.

Paint the bridge or tell me where to send the bill to have it painted.

The bridge was repainted roughly a month ago. Unfortunately, the fresh canvas just proved to be too much of a temptation. There is graffiti on the north side of the bridge, again.

Maybe if it was painted in a darker color (black), so as to limit the colors of vandelists...

I believe if the bridge/tunnel were to be repainted again and a motion activated camera set up in nearby woods. The vandals would be captured on video within a week. The camera would have to be set in such a way as to not have cars traveling through the tunnel engage the camera.

The bridge has finally been painted. Thank you!

and it looks good. Wish it would stay that way...

Driving in from the south side...

Heading south, check out the old oak tree as you exit...
