My mind wanders a lot, especially about roads, and tonight ever so randomly I was thinking of bridges, and bridges in New York City and its metro in particular. So with that stated I thought I would share some images of bridges not covered on AARoads or new coverage not yet added. These images will eventually be added to North East Roads @ AARoads, but for now here’s a few to comtemplate.
A trip on June 13, 2005 I took with Justin took us on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge northbound again. However this time we opted for the lower deck.
Returning to New York City on August 29, 2005 with Andy, we traveled the upper deck southbound before paying our $9 toll!
The same August trip took us on the Triborough Bridge southbound (Interstate 278 west).
The world famous Brooklyn Bridge, seen from the northbound direction on June 13, 2005.
The Williamsburg Bridge eastbound over the East River on June 13, 2005. The Williamsburg Bridge was once a part of the Interstate 78 corridor.
The narrow four-lane Goethels Bridge (Interstate 278) westbound on August 29, 2005.
Spanning the Hudson on the Tappan Zee Bridge. The bridge carries Interstate 87 & 287
Added for the fun of it, the Passaic River drawbridge of Interstate 280 at Newark, New Jersey. This image looks at eastbound from June 13, 2005.
The westbound view of the Passiac River drawbridge on Interstate 280 from August 2005.
I really enjoyed viewing your pics. The bridges made for some great photographs, and they are fascinating to me.
Glad you liked the photos! Check out Boston/Vermont Roadtrip Day 1 post for a photo of the Manhattan Bridge, another beauty of a span.
The I-280 span is named the Stickel Drawbridge. The state is just wrapping up a renovation of the span, which received new decks and a new grey paint job.
