NYC Bridges thread

Nice.

 

Funny, all of them could be modified to handle rail (or do all ready or have in the past), or a different pattern of lanes and traffic.

 

I am partial to the QB and the VN, however i also enjoy the other bridges.

It was originally planned for the BMT Broadway line to cross the Queensboro bridge into Queens, but at the last minute, it was decided to make an under water tunnel because the bridge would not be able to handle the weight of trains. That tunnel is the 60th street tube, which the (N)(R)(W) all cross to get into Queens.

Yea, it was only designed with streetcars in mind.

 

I need to get some shots of the RI bridge before the tram closes.
