Hell's Gate Bridge

Hell's Gate Bridge , which carries rail traffic, was completed in 1918, and spans 310 metres, certainly draws comparison with The Sydney Harbour Bridge which was completed in 1932 and spans 503 metres.

There's an exhibit on the making of the Tri-Borough at the NYC Transit Museum.

Also, did you know that NY Governor Spitzer wants it re-named for Robt. Kennedy??

I will definitely get to that exhibition

Yes,I read bout Spitzer's plan, the consensus seemed to be there where enough Kennedy named things about the place.
