While on a boat ride around the Rockaways and Brooklyn, I came across this bridge known as the Marine Park Bridge in Brooklyn, New York. The bridge is very well known in New York City but not as much outside of New York City. It has two very distinctive verticle towers and is a drawbridge since the tide in this area tends to get very high. For more interesting information on Marine Park Bridge in Brooklyn, NY please feel free to read more below;
The Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (originally and often referred to as the Marine Parkway Bridge) is a vertical-lift bridge in New York City, New York, that crosses Rockaway Inlet. The bridge, which opened on July 3, 1937, connects the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, with Flatbush Avenue to Floyd Bennett Field, Belt Parkway, and the Marine Park neighborhood in Brooklyn. The bridge is designated as New York State Route 901B, an unsigned reference route.[3]
The center span is 540 feet (160 m) long and is normally 55 feet (17 m) above the water but can be lifted to a height of 150 feet (46 m) above water level. With its distinctive twin towers (which house the vertical-lift machinery), the bridge has become an iconic landmark and symbol of the Rockaways.
