Grand Street Bridge, Swing and truss bridges at Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and Queens, US
The Grand Street Bridge consists of steel and stone structures spanning 230 feet across Newtown Creek with two vehicle lanes and pedestrian walkways.
The current bridge, completed in 1902 for $174,937, replaced two earlier structures from 1875 and 1890 that experienced structural and navigation issues.
The bridge stands as an engineering example from the early 1900s, connecting the neighborhoods of Williamsburg in Brooklyn and Maspeth in Queens.
The bridge measures 31.2 feet in width, accommodating two lanes of traffic with a height restriction of 4.1 meters and sidewalks on both sides.
The swing mechanism requires advance notice for operation, with bridge openings decreasing from 600 times in 1990 to 23 times in 1998.
