Previously the MTA had suggested that the towers merely served a design purpose and were a unifying element between the city’s bridges and tunnels. Later, after investigations conducted by government watchdog Reinvent Albany, and Politico, the MTA changed its tune.

The agency said the towers served a security purpose and hosted cameras and traffic monitoring systems. This seemed to be a source of confusion for board members at the meeting, according to Politico, as was the amount of funding set aside for the project. Trottenberg questioned whether the remainder of the funds should still be used for this project when the subway is still in need of funds.

$100'000'000 its gonna tax the commuters

They test aircraft at area 51....and there are no runways in these towers.

I also don't think they can deny it.....they just don't have to tell people what they are.

But then I've met people that said that they should have released the plans for Overlord before June 6th......so people don't really care about security and probably wouldn't mind the deaths such releases would cause.

Its not a problem to me.....I'm one that can accept things being kept secret.

I'd have personally shot the person who gave away the plans to Overlord ahead of time.

As Above So Below
So then there is this news story here below...I think they are scanning machinery to scan the vehicles that drive on bridges and in tunnels to scan for bombs or nuclear devices...New York is the test city for these...IMO...

Mystery Surrounds Metal Towers Popping Up In Tunnels & Bridges

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Mysterious metal towers are popping up at local tunnels, and soon they’ll start appearing at bridges, too.

But even people on the MTA board in charge of the towers can’t say why they’re being used or what’s in them, CBS2’s Dave Carlin reports.

Jose Lugo said the tall metal towers quickly appeared up after the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel tolls booths came down.

“We don’t really know what’s the purpose of this,” he told Carlin.

It’s a $100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them for tunnels and bridges. So what are they exactly?

The MTA’s man in charge of the bridges and tunnels, Cedrick Fulton, dodged Carlin’s questions Wednesday.

“I said no comment,” he said.

Some MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, say they know too little about the towers – even with half the money already spent and some of the towers already up.

“A lot of the board members felt they didn’t have all the details they would have wanted, myself included,” she said.

Residents suspect there is much more going on in the towers than meets the eye and wonder if they’ll ever really know what’s going on inside of them.

“I’m going to guess that it’s not just a decoration,” Alyssa Renkas, of the Upper West Side, said.

“It’s a bit mind-boggling that the MTA is approving $100 million for what appears to us to be big, decorative pylons,” says John Kaehny, the leaderof the watchdog group Reinvent Albany. “What we’re asking for is transparency from the MTA.”

CBS2 demanded answers from MTA Chairman Joe Lhota.

Carlin: “Some of your own board members say they don’t know the specifics.”

Lhota: “The base of these new pieces that are going up include whatever fiber optics are necessary for those Homeland Security items.”

In other words, anti-terror technology. Could that one day include facial recognition? We don’t know and Lhota won’t say.

“I’m not at liberty to discuss that,” he told Carlin.

So as more of these expensive towers rise, the mystery is tucked away inside them.

Lhota said all necessary Homeland Security technology remains in place at all crossings, even the ones that don’t have the new towers yet.
