Queensboro Bridge, Cantilever bridge between Manhattan and Queens, United States.
The Queensboro Bridge spans across the East River with steel construction, featuring ten traffic lanes distributed between upper and lower levels.
The bridge opened on March 30, 1909, after construction by architect Henry Hornbostel and engineer Gustav Lindenthal, costing 18 million dollars.
The bridge received recognition as a New York City Landmark and earned a place in the National Register of Historic Places.
Pedestrians and cyclists can access dedicated paths on the bridge while vehicles use multiple lanes connecting Manhattan's 59th Street to Long Island City.
The structure provides direct access to Roosevelt Island through an integrated system that previously included a vehicular elevator until 1955.
