Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge
In 1939 the New York City Parkway Authority built the Cross Bay Bridge and Parkway, along with beach improvements in the Rockaways. This was part of a program to develop Jamaica Bay as a residential and recreational area, instead of following a previous city plan to develop the area as a huge industrial port. The following year, the New York City Parkway Authority was consolidated with the Triborough Bridge Authority.

The 1939 bridge was a low level bascule bridge (drawbridge}. In 1970, the TBTA completed the present Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge, a high level fixed bridge, which permits boats to pass under it without the traffic delays caused by the lifting of a bascule bridge.

Located four miles east of the Marine Parkway Bridge, which connects the Rockaway Peninsula to Brooklyn, the Cross Bay Bridge connects the peninsula to the rest of Queens, the Belt Parkway, and the Southern State Parkway.
Cross Bay Boulevard, at the span's northern end, runs through the Jamaica Bay marshes, where one finds the waterside community of Broad Channel and the Jamaica Wildlife Refuge. The bridge's southern end leads to the beaches, boardwalks, and seaside communities of the Rockaway Peninsula.]]>07-08-03 14:42:24 http://www.eemap.org/id/66358白头翁
The Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge was opened by the Marine Parkway Authority in 1937 to provide access to the Rockaway Peninsula, which previously could be reached only by ferry or by a circuitous route around the eastern end of Jamaica Bay. When it was built, the bridge's vertical lift span was the longest in the world. The tapering, curled tops of its towers added a whimsical aspect to the bridge's design.

The Marine Parkway Authority also built the Jacob Riis Parking Field and cooperated with the city's Department of Parks in the reconstruction and expansion of Jacob Riis Park. After a series of mergers, the Marine Parkway Authority became part of the Triborough Bridge Authority in 1940.

Today, the land at both ends of the bridge is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. On the Brooklyn side is Floyd Bennett Field and a direct connection to the Shore Parkway and Flatbush Avenue. The Queens side in the Rockaways has seen considerable residential and recreational development since the bridge's construction.

Thousands visit the area's beaches and parklands each year, producing a 50 percent traffic increase on the bridge in the summer months. In 1978, Gil Hodges' name was added to the bridge in honor of the Brooklyn Dodgers' great first baseman and Mets manager.

1524年，一位鲜为人知的意大利人维拉萨诺驾船驶进纽约港，并将该港名为安古拉姆。他对该港作了这样的描述：“地理位置十分适宜，位于两座小山的中间，一条大河从中间流过”。虽然维拉萨诺绝对算不上一个伟大的探险家，但他的名字将流芳百世，因为1964年11月21日建成的一座世界上最长的吊桥是以他的名字命名。
维拉萨诺大桥（Verrazano Bridge）由奥斯马.阿曼设计，连结着布鲁克林与斯塔顿岛，桥长4,260英尺。
由于桥身太长，设计者不得不考虑了地表的形状。
两座巨塔支撑着4根粗大的钢缆，塔身建在巨大的水下钢筋混凝土平台上，平台深入海底100英尺，仅这两座塔就花了16个月才建成。塔身高出水面将近700英尺，高塔支撑着钢缆，而钢缆又悬吊着大桥，4根钢缆中的每根由26，108股钢绳组成。
据估计，若桥上摆满了汽车，也只不过是桥的总承载力的1/3。然而，这座桥重要特点不仅是它的规模与强度。尽管此桥很大，但它的结构简单，造型优美，实现了设计者企图创造一个“尽量用细线条勾画出一个庞然大物”的梦想。
Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour in 1524 and named it Angouleme. He described it as 'a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.' Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be a great explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, For on November 21st, 1964, the longest suspension bridge in the world was named after him.
The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of 4,260 feet.
The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer.
Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire.
It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'.]]>07-03-28 02:05:32 http://www.eemap.org/id/66356白头翁 Bayonne Bridge。]]>07-03-28 01:56:40 http://www.eemap.org/id/66355白头翁 Newark Bay Railway Bridge 。]]>07-03-28 01:28:37 http://www.eemap.org/id/66354白头翁 Newark Bay Bridge。]]>07-03-28 01:31:42 http://www.eemap.org/id/66353白头翁 Roosevelt Island Bridge）建于1955年，是一座升降式孔桥，在两桥塔之间长127米的中央主跨提升30米的情况下，主跨之下可以通航相应的船舶。大桥总长410米，跨越东河东航道，连接罗斯福岛和昆斯区。大桥有两条机动车道和一条人行道。]]>07-03-28 01:02:11 http://www.eemap.org/id/66352白头翁

　　横跨东河的皇后区大桥(Queensboro Bridge)于1909年完工，造型优雅。


　　这座近百岁的双层钢结构大桥是纽约市知名地标之一。


　　它也是纽约最繁忙的交通枢纽之一，每天平均有18万辆汽车通过。

　　东河上的拖轮正从桥下通过：


　　下图左边的大厦即为联合国总部：

　　2005年10月18日下午(当地时间，下同)，连接纽约曼哈顿区和皇后区的皇后区大桥发生火警，黑色烟雾直贯云宵，虽然没有人受伤，火势也立即受到控制，但却动员百余位消防人员，并在两端设立指挥中心。封锁桥梁也让交通大乱，至下午五时已局部开放，因应下班尖峰时段。

　　纽约时报、每日新闻、纽约邮报等当地媒体网络版都显著报导这则消息。起火原因不明，有可能是因桥梁整修工程引燃的火苗而起。]]>07-08-03 16:03:30 http://www.eemap.org/id/66347白头翁
　　纽约市经历过多起大火，但像1902年11月22日下午烧毁威廉斯堡大桥部分桥面那样的大火实属罕见。这座大桥尚未完工，工人们刚将工具拿走，火舌就从一个工作点扑了过来。大火距东河水面100多码高。消防艇迅速赶到现场，但是在消防艇赶到之前，大火烧到了桥上木制人行道。火星落到河岸上，岸上的居民撤离了房子以防万一。岸上集聚了很多人目睹这场大火。大火给大桥造成相当大的损害，然后自行熄灭。]]>07-03-28 00:26:51 http://www.eemap.org/id/66346白头翁 Manharttan Bridge。]]>07-03-28 00:23:07 http://www.eemap.org/id/66294白头翁
布鲁克林大桥是纽约最久最有名的桥梁，在South Street Seaport北部坐落，连接曼哈顿与布鲁克林之间。这座桥于1869年由约翰·A·罗夫林设计，在测量中罗夫林遇难身亡。之后，其子华盛顿继承父亲的遗志，学习欧洲的先进技术，于1883年完成桥梁。该桥梁的工程花了16年，投入了2500万美元的资金。而，此桥的工程期间中，除了约翰·A·罗夫林以外，还有20名建筑工人丧命。桥塔上面的标志板是为了悼念他们而附设的。日落的时候，从布鲁克林沿着木道不行，可以观赏曼哈顿的高层建筑及美丽的街景，可说是纽约旅游的最亮点。每年7月4号美国独立纪念日在此放烟火。
