    The Queensboro Bridge was the first road connection between Manhattan and Queens and initiated the rapid development of the previously largely rural borough of Queens.
    50 people died during the construction. The bridge opened to traffic on March 30, 1909. Its cost was $20 million (about $619,000,000 in today's value).

      Not as well known as the Brooklyn Bridge but just as pretty and also leading to Roosevelt Island.

        Beautiful architecture but crossing the bridge on foot is not advisable. The traffic and the many bicycles and motorbikes make this a dangerous experience!
