The Queensboro Bridge, officially known as the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, spans New York City’s East River, connecting Midtown Manhattan with Long Island City in Queens via Roosevelt Island. Built in the early 20th century, this architectural and engineering marvel supports the daily passage of hundreds of thousands of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Its robust design and strategic location make it a vital artery for the city, while its historical significance and structural beauty offer visitors a glimpse into the ingenuity of early-20th-century construction.
