Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, Steel toll bridge in Manhattan, United States.
The Robert F. Kennedy Bridge connects three New York City boroughs through three separate spans crossing the East River, Harlem River, and Bronx Kill.
The construction began in 1930 but faced delays during the Great Depression until funding from the New Deal program enabled its completion in 1936.
The bridge connects multiple neighborhoods, providing access to Harlem's commercial district, South Bronx communities, and Astoria's residential sections in Queens.
The bridge system incorporates 14 miles of approach roads, linking major expressways including the Harlem River Drive, FDR Drive, and Bruckner Expressway.
The bridge features an interchange on Randalls Island that manages traffic from twelve different directions while providing access to sports facilities and parkland.
