Kosciuszko Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Brooklyn, United States.
The Kosciuszko Bridge spans Newtown Creek with twin cable-stayed structures connecting Brooklyn and Queens through a 1,835-meter steel and concrete crossing.
The original bridge opened in 1939 as a truss structure, serving traffic between Brooklyn and Queens until its replacement began with the first span in 2017.
The bridge bears the name of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a Polish military engineer who contributed to American independence, reflecting the Polish heritage of nearby Greenpoint.
Cyclists and pedestrians can access dedicated paths on both spans of the bridge, connecting the neighborhoods of Greenpoint in Brooklyn and Maspeth in Queens.
The bridge features an advanced lighting system that illuminates its cables and structure with programmable LED displays visible across the New York City skyline.
