Feds investigating alleged problems with Kosciuszko Bridge cable armor

Federal authorities are investigating claims that anti-terror cable shields on the Kosciuszko Bridge are falling apart as the result of a botched job by an allegedly crooked contractor, The Post has learned.

The Brooklyn US Attorney’s Office obtained a subpoena for documents from Hardwire LLC, which is locked in a related court battle against ex-employee Irwin “Skip” Ebaugh IV and his company, Infrastructure Armor LLC, according to a source familiar with the matter. Hardwire alleges in a nearly $40 million civil suit that it lost out on a job to protect the bridge’s cables from bomb blasts and fire after Ebaugh swiped its trade secrets and used them to underbid his former employer.
