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

Outside of this, as a walker who has walked very long distances, this is my least favorite bridge in the city for two very good reasons. First off, the barriers on the side are very low compared to any of the more popular bridges people walk on. I'm not sure if it's because fewer tourists go here, or because fewer people have "climbed," for lack of better words, but I find the side of the bridge a bit dizzying. It's probably a combination of both, but I hug the other side where you loudly hear the ton of cars passing by. In groups, I walk in front and quickly speed walk over whatever part we are doing. It's also an incredibly narrow bridge, making the narrow walking paths of the GWB or the old one on the Queensboro/59th Street look wide by comparison. You'll still get bikes on there, and I have almost gotten into an accident once or twice. It's nice to have a bridge that leads to this many places, but I hate it.

I've loved this bridge ever since I first entered NYC. Maybe it's because I also love Sydney,…read moreAustralia, and I didn't realize until recently that the Sydney Harbor Bridge is based on this bridge. Not only does this bridge have interesting history, but it's rumored that after man kind collapses, this bridge will still be standing. It's an architectural marvel. It still services Amtrak trains. This bridge can be accessed by two primary ways--from Astoria Park and Randall's Island park. Randall's island offers better photo ops and a new and beautiful walking path, but the Astoria side is pretty as well, and has easy access to the tasty ethnic eateries of Astoria. Both spots have good parking, but Randall's Island probably offers more. Look this bridge up, learn about it, and go see it. It'll be a nice day out for a walk, people watching, photo snapping.

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*.

I genuinely enjoy using the Outerbridge Crossing, and that's not something I ever thought I'd say…read moreabout a bridge. For me, this crossing is a huge quality-of-life upgrade when traveling between New Jersey and Staten Island. It lets me skip several painful miles of traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike, and honestly, that alone makes it worth it every single time. When traffic is backed up and crawling elsewhere, this route feels like a secret shortcut that actually works. The bridge itself is modern, clean, and well maintained. Everything about it feels updated and efficient--from the roadway to the overall flow of traffic. It's fast, smooth, and rarely feels congested compared to nearby alternatives. When you're trying to get where you're going without unnecessary stress, that makes a big difference. Tolling is straightforward, traffic moves consistently, and the entire experience feels far more streamlined than many other crossings in the area. Instead of stop-and-go frustration, you get a predictable, steady drive--which is honestly priceless during peak travel times. All in all, the Outerbridge Crossing is one of those pieces of infrastructure you really learn to appreciate once you've used it regularly. It saves time, reduces stress, and helps you avoid miles of gridlock. As far as bridges go, this one does exactly what it's supposed to do--and does it well.

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.
