Show New York's Bridges. Irrespective of the elevated railroad system comprising the Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth avenue lines, and the elevated portions of the Broadway ami Lenox avenue sections of the subway, New York city has 42 bridges spanning span-ning the East and Harlem rivers, Newtown New-town creek, and other waterways. These roads over rivers, including the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Delancey street and Queensboro spans, among the greatest in the world, represent, with the real estate requisite for their approaches, ap-proaches, an investment by the municipality munici-pality of more than $135,000,000. |
