À propos du lieu

The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge provides the only physical link across the tidal strait.

The suspension structure joins Brooklyn to Staten Island across the Narrows. It carries Interstate traffic across a double-deck roadbed that handles vehicular movement between the boroughs. The span carries vehicular lanes over both decks to accommodate interstate drivers bypassing Manhattan.

Early proposals for the crossing emerged under the name Liberty Bridge before public officials blocked private development schemes. Alternative blueprints included vehicular tubes and subway tracks from Bay Ridge toward Staten Island, though lack of municipal funding halted initial excavation.
