Queensborough (59th Street/Ed Koch) Bridge eastbound (Upper Level)

The Queensboro Bridge crosses the East River at midtown Manhattan as it leaps over Roosevelt Island below. The bridge opened in 1909 and has been a landmark in NYC since its opening, due in large part to its unusual design and appearance...
Also Includes: Roosevelt Island Tramway

The last time my mother{now deceased} went on the upper level on the Queensboro Bridge was in 1980, great video!

There’s an outer level on the Queens side is absolutely scary, and it’s too tight to cross, but now, we got an upper level instead with two lanes each direction, the outer level in the Queens side is only one lane. The Manhattan side on the outer level has pedestrian and bike lanes.

Note the work train on the IRT Flushing Line when you make that sharp turn to the right.

[@vintagetvandexciting]

[@dea41396returns]

didn't they rename this to the "Ed Kotch Memorial Bridge" or something? It is such a stupid name but that's the state of NY for ya?

[@rwboa22]

I prefer the "59th Street Bridge" moniker myself. Can't get any more local than that.
