Bluefish Alley, New York, NY, US

The Throgs Neck Bridge, opened in 1961, is a vital link in New York City's interstate highway system, connecting the Bronx and Queens. It was built to alleviate congestion on the Bronx Whitestone Bridge and now carries more traffic than its predecessor. The bridge provides access to various major highways, allowing commuters to travel to New Jersey, upstate New York, Westchester County, and New England. Situated at the meeting point of the East River and Long Island Sound, the Throgs Neck Bridge serves both residential communities and important landmarks on each side, including Throgs Neck, Locust Point, S.U.N.Y. Maritime College, Beechhurst, Bayside, Little Bay Park, and historic Fort Totten. The bridge's name is derived from John Throckmorton, an early settler in the area.Generated from the website
