Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jul 28 08:26:41 2009, in response to Re: The Manhattan Bridge, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Mon Jul 27 16:12:14 2009. I was talking about the East River Bridges, but yes, the Goethels and Outerbridge are also cantilever.Also here's some trivia on the Outerbridge Crossing. Few people realize that this bridge is named for Eugenius Outerbridge, the first chairman of the Port Authority, and a resident of Staten Island rather than for it's location. Luckily, they called it a crossing rather than a bridge, as the Outerbridge Bridge would have sounded almost ridiculous. |
