Bronx-Whitestone Bridge

Built in 1938 to provide access to the World's Fair that was held in Flushing Meadows the following year, the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge was the first direct link between Long Island and the mainland without going through another island. This suspension bridge connects Ferry Point Park in the Bronx with Whitestone in Queens and carries Interstate 678.

The Bronx-Whitestone Bridge is operated by MTA Bridges and Tunnels[?].
