MTA Bridges and Tunnels President Daniel DeCrescenzo and Acting Vice President and Chief of Operations Richard Hildebrand, along with other MTA officials, will participate in a remembrance walk through the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel with the family of Stephen Siller, commemorating the FDNY firefighter’s run through the tunnel to the World Trade Center on 9/11.
