New York experiments with remote sensing to monitor bridges
NYSERDA (the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) and the federal government have been testing a remote sensing system on Bridge 1027260. Like Jean Valjean, this bridge has no name. 
And you can tell that it’s not in New York City, because if it were here, the City Council, whose power is limited to the power to name public objects and thoroughfares - might have already named each lane and approach ramp.
Professor Kerop Janoyan and a team of graduate students from Clarkson University have been monitoring their equipment from a work barge near the bridge. (Since they seem to be working on an exposed, unheated barge, perhaps the bridge and its appurtenances should be named for them. Popular Logistics will send a correspondent in person to any naming ceremony).
We learned about this from Matthew Wald’s piece in the Times:
