Any info on Robert Moses?

I know that they said RM was supposed to be open by Memorial Day, but I haven't heard anything about it since March. Anyone have the inside scoop?

Every beach will be open come Memorial Day but many beaches won't have boardwalks done or have all fields open. I called to ask about Robert Moses and that is the info they gave me.

The bridge was still closed on Mother's Day. I don't see how they are going to open but they are saying by Memorial Day. I ended up at Jones Beach and it was a mess still.
