Kennedy Bridge (aka RFK Bridge) post 2008 cost a extortionate price $4 million for signage, which fellow Yelper Phil H., factually with accuracy stated the absurdity money spent. I adamantly concur with Phil H. What about the tormenting plaguing problem of inflation impacting the high cost of food for groceries, rent, living expenses including health care? Can then NY Governor David A. Paterson understand our hardship and utter struggle to live? To survive to live is a Sisyphean task. I am exuberant that David A. Paterson completed his term as 55th NYS governor to get the boot removed from office. I personally prefer the old name because it intuitively describes how it connects three boroughs (Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens) as a Y-shaped bridge of elevated highway viaduct. There are three bridges that comprises the Triborough Bridge: East River Suspension Bridge - 8 lanes of I-278 (Bronx and Queens spans) Harlem River Lift Bridge - 6 lanes of NYS Route 900G (NY 900G) Bronx Kills Through Truss Bridge - 8 lanes of I-278 connects the Bronx with Randalls Island I was once fortunate that a colleague drove me all the way home from Bronx to Queens. At long last, I did not have to endure the tormenting MTA NYC Transit subway. Vehicle traffic did move moderately without any delays or impediments. There were no pothole seen. As a lifelong passenger, to me, the seen of Triborough Bridge is smooth and efficient to drive because of its cashless toll system rendered since 2017 with cameras and RFID readers. Toll rates as of January 4, 2026: NY E-ZPass: $7.46 Mid-Tier: $9.79 Tolls by mail, non-NY E-ZPass: $12.03

This was my first vehicular underwater tunnel experience. It's bizarre how one minute you're on an…read moreopen highway and the next thing you know you're in a bustling city. Your mood and energy changes instantly, at least mine did. Three double-lane tubes make up the tunnels. The middle tube's lanes are contra-flowed depending on traffic. FACT: I was wondering why on the NJ side there are 3 visible tunnel opening but only 2 on the NY side. Turns out, the north tunnel in NY has a separate opening a block away from the middle & south tunnels.

While we usually opt for public transportation for shows, our specific situation that day demanded the drive and dreaded east-bound toll. (You pay toll only when driving east-bound into NYC. It's free if you're going to Jersey.) The Lincoln Tunnel is a major vehicular tunnel that connects Manhattan in New York City to Weehawken in Jersey. It spans about a mile and a half under the Hudson River. The tunnel is made up of three different "tunnels" or tubes, each carrying two lanes of traffic. Based on traffic patterns at different times of the day, which are east-bound and which are west-bound changes to alleviate congestion. So please pay attention. I prefer the tunnels over the bridges whenever driving into NYC because you encounter less oversized, giant trucks for the most part. Some commercial trucks are allowed in the Lincoln, but they're much smaller.

The bridge connects to a parking garage so that's useful if you take a vehicle. A lot of people use it to walk across. It has a walkway on the north side. This is for pedestrian only, and the space is pretty tight. Bicyclists share lanes on the road. There's only two lanes of traffic. It doesn't get a whole lot of vehicles because the island is lightly populated. This is also a draw bridge, so it can move for boats passing through. Pretty much there isn't much to look at from the bridge. There's a whole bunch of factories and industrial stuff. I only a few times go to Roosevelt Island. Only a few of those times have I used this bridge to get there. The bridge is the most useful as a walkway.

Ugh The Hutchinson…read moreRiver Parkway (aka the Hutch) is a ~19 mile parkway which starts at the Whitestone Bridge in the Bronx and stretches up to the Connecticut border in Rye Brook, Westchester county (where it then turns into the Merritt Parkway). I have a love-hate relationship with the Hutch. On one hand, it's the closest highway to where I live and I can easily access it to travel to Westchester or Queens. It truly is a convenience in some ways because a lot of my go-to places for errands and such are right off the parkway. The roads are well maintained and it has a lot of connecting highways. On the other hand, the Hutch is a pain to deal with. To start, the Hutch is only two lanes wide (with the exception of a few patches where it expands to three) which can lead to traffic even if there's a slight hiccup on the road. There is almost ALWAYS traffic going northbound up to exit 13 (the exit that leads you to the Cross County, Bronx River, Sprain Brook, and Saw Mill River Parkways). I can almost put money on the fact that there will be traffic on the Hutch from exits 7 to 13 at any time of the day. Finally, because the Hutch is a parkway, it's for passenger cars only; there are low clearance underpasses that are designed only for cars to fit under. This however won't stop the occasional tractor-trailer from galloping onto the Hutch and trying to fit under the underpasses. Not only does this destroy the tractor-trailer, it creates a boatload of traffic. Do I complain about the Hutch? Yes. Will I continue to travel on the Hutch? Yes! It's too much of a convenience - if I'm really in a bind I'll take side roads or 95, but even with its faults the Hutch is too convenient for me to avoid all together *sigh*.

There's a need for road comprehension and reconditioning here in Brooklyn on Ocean Avenue. What I…read morefind to be quite peculiar is that Coney Island Ave, running just three blocks parallel -- doesn't suffer from most of these boneheaded road fumbles. Perhaps it wasn't in the DMVs playbook and nobody wanted to tell you, well, I'm here to tell you. Open those eyes, scan front and back on occasion -- flashing lights approaching? Move away from the lane that said flashing lights is bearing down upon you within. Maybe it's a coffee run, maybe granny is about to kick the bucket -- whatever the case, know how to move forward, to the side, anything but freeze in complete panic as emergency vehicles run this strip all day -- I can't speak for the night tho, it's gotta be worse. The Jewish people are not the world's greatest drivers so I am pointing the guilty end of the pointer at they, them and theirs. For such a smart people, the flat and straight road should be an easy go -- but it aint, it's anything but. Those are the drivers, here is the road. Three well marked lanes although a bit narrow with a hungry grumpy passenger side curb that'll take a bite or take a swipe at your rubber if you veer too close, you can feel their cement snarls. And above that hazzard is the pretty swaying low hanging trees that will tickle your high top roof and swat at your antenna bending it like a backwards 'C' -- followed by the full force "thwaaaang" release, hence, large vehicles stay left. But the absolute worst part of driving this beautifully and fictitiously named avenue (where's the ocean anyway?) is the I'll fated traffic light synchronizer, a true momentum killer. If your not Mario Andretti in a Formula 1 racecar, you'll chug along -- make one light, wait at the next, make one light and wait at the next. I'm watching little kids on 2 wheeled scooters passing me on the sidewalk like I'm standing still. I might abandon the new rig and join their merry band of light free bobbers and weevers because it looks like so much fun.

The Pulaski Bridge, crossing Newtown Creek, connects Brooklyn to Queens on a surface street. The…read moresignificance of the bridge is not that of a beautiful structure, which it isn't. Its draw instead is in the historical significance of the area it crosses. Having spent much time staying in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, I became fascinated with the early history of the area. Although the area has become massively gentrified in recent years, the longtime residents of LIC who haven't been priced out are proud of their area's history. Much historical information is available, including early use of the creek by the Dutch settlers. The creek & its tributaries weren't always polluted waterways. The Indigenous Peoples that first lived on the land found it a vibrant source of food and transportation before Dutch explorers claimed the land in the early 1600's. Dutch settlers also looked to it for travel, food & water. The tributary now known as Dutch Kills has significance for me because of my love of history. While spending time in the area now known to many as Dutch Kills, I purchased a Dutch Kills shirt. A bodega across from where I stayed posted pages of history near its cash register. A close pub was named for it. Dutch Kills was well known then & historically cherished. The area has changed a lot in recent years with expansion of the gentrification beyond the LIC waterfront. I hope its history isn't lost to time & "progress". The bridge & its surrounding area have a Revolutionary War history. The bridge itself is named for Polish Revolutionary War Commander Pulaski, since early settlers of the adjoining Greenpoint neighborhood in Brooklyn were Polish. The British tributary is called British Kills. The area was the a headquarters for the British troops. The troops were housed in the Dutch Kills section of LIC I know so well. So when you cross the Pulaski Bridge that you've traveled so routinely in the past, don't think of it as a small ordinary bridge. Think instead of the history of the area it crosses. Step back in time with me.
