The DOT external link for moveable bridges doesn't work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DukeJAP (talk • contribs) 14:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand this statement:

The relative average number of inbound vehicles between 5 am and 11 am to Midtown and Lower Manhattan are:

Relative to what? Averaged by what? Day? Hour? Useless without qualifications. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is unclear what kinds of bridges this page is supposed to include. I'm guessing those that pass over bodies of water (otherwise, we'd have gazillions of highway, railroad, etc overpasses). But, if that's the case, then the entire Other bridges and tunnels section probably should be deleted. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:36, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we should include crossings of major bodies of water; those already exist at

list of fixed crossings of the East River, etc. --NE2 19:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

1st Vehicle Tunnel?

This is just plain inaccurate, No idea where that comes from. Maybe the first tunnel under the river? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.233.153.116 (talk) 06:43, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully the redlink will spur someone to compose an article. See the data near the bottom of the article on ConEd's

generator for references. People who dig engineering history will get a big kick out of the 1894 report on the completion of the tunnel's construction that lives on Terry Kennedy's web site. Note well: while it's not a vehicular tunnel, ConEd workers can use it to walk between Manhattan and Queens.

If it's more appropriate to put this tunnel into the East River table, it goes at the bottom - the tunnel leaves Manhattan at 71st St., so it's the northernmost tunnel under the East River.

It is a very bad thing, that the Triborough Bridge is in this list of bridges in New York.

Robert F. Kennedy Bridge or Triborough Bridge is the institutional comprehensive name for three bridges in New York City. The bridges go over three waterways and cinnect three boroughs of New York. The three bridges do differ in place (many miles apart) and construction system. --Paulbe (talk) 02:05, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the number of 'over 2000' based on? The listed bridges and tunnels do not amount to this number by a long shot. Alargule (talk) 12:07, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

These are some marvellous bridges; but for those of us unfamiliar with, and with no intention of becoming so, New York, it seems imperative that some expert should provide a map showing where the bridges are in relation to each other and to the mysterious places mentioned. Thanks. Claverhouse (talk) 14:56, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We could make our own. Add coordinates for each bridge and Template:Geotag to make the map of those coordinates. Jim.henderson (talk) 16:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this the only demolished bridge listed? It should be removed or the other no longer existing bridges should be added: King's Bridge (1693) and Dyckman's Free Bridge (1759) to name a couple. 2603:7000:DA00:6A:2C46:7FC5:B556:F5ED (talk) 20:24, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
