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[?].
