I'm no bridge engineer, but as I understand the issue, it's not one that could affect the Manhattan Bridge, unless you're talking about winds that could level most of the skyline too.

The bridge in our area that was modified following the Tacoma Narrows disaster was the Whitestone, which had bulky modifications put in soon after the disaster out west, which were recently replaced with a much more lightweight wind fluting design designed to more efficiently achieve the same result while not shortening cable life.
