Well, the bridge feels safe so shouldn't that qualify as 5 stars? Lol! But seriously, wide and smooth non-potholey roads and clear signage too. No complaints. Complaints would be reserved for the crazy drivers. It's raining. Let's be safe. Drive carefully, folks. Slow down! read more

Robert F Kennedy Bridge - My view from inside the Uber - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - New York, New York

As a New Yorker, this bridge will always be known as Triborough Bridge, or Triboro - no offense Bobby Kennedy, indeed. Renaming this bridge Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (aka RFK Bridge) post 2008 cost a extortionate price $4 million for signage, which fellow Yelper Phil H., factually with accuracy stated the absurdity money spent. I adamantly concur with Phil H. What about the tormenting plaguing problem of inflation impacting the high cost of food for groceries, rent, living expenses including health care? Can then NY Governor David A. Paterson understand our hardship and utter struggle to live? To survive to live is a Sisyphean task. I am exuberant that David A. Paterson completed his term as 55th NYS governor to get the boot removed from office. I personally prefer the old name because it intuitively describes how it connects three boroughs (Manhattan, Bronx, and Queens) as a Y-shaped bridge of elevated highway viaduct. There are three bridges that comprises the Triborough Bridge: East River Suspension Bridge - 8 lanes of I-278 (Bronx and Queens spans) Harlem River Lift Bridge - 6 lanes of NYS Route 900G (NY 900G) Bronx Kills Through Truss Bridge - 8 lanes of I-278 connects the Bronx with Randalls Island I was once fortunate that a colleague drove me all the way home from Bronx to Queens. At long last, I did not have to endure the tormenting MTA NYC Transit subway. Vehicle traffic did move moderately without any delays or impediments. There were no pothole seen. As a lifelong passenger, to me, the seen of Triborough Bridge is smooth and efficient to drive because of its cashless toll system rendered since 2017 with cameras and RFID readers. Toll rates as of January 4, 2026: NY E-ZPass: $7.46 Mid-Tier: $9.79 Tolls by mail, non-NY E-ZPass: $12.03 read more

Ah, yes, the Triborough, or Triboro. This is one of the many places that was renamed while no one local or long-term transplants who have been here long enough call it by its current moniker. Outside of this, as a walker who has walked very long distances, this is my least favorite bridge in the city for two very good reasons. First off, the barriers on the side are very low compared to any of the more popular bridges people walk on. I'm not sure if it's because fewer tourists go here, or because fewer people have "climbed," for lack of better words, but I find the side of the bridge a bit dizzying. It's probably a combination of both, but I hug the other side where you loudly hear the ton of cars passing by. In groups, I walk in front and quickly speed walk over whatever part we are doing. It's also an incredibly narrow bridge, making the narrow walking paths of the GWB or the old one on the Queensboro/59th Street look wide by comparison. You'll still get bikes on there, and I have almost gotten into an accident once or twice. It's nice to have a bridge that leads to this many places, but I hate it. read more

Yes, I review bridges, tunnels, and gates on Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/collection/abcC5X49U7tk5Zl1kqfzEw/Bridges-Tunnels-and-Gates I think that's when my old boss at work realized I was crazy. On our recent trip to New York, we used the bridges making up the Robert F Kennedy Bridge multiple times to get to and from our hotel in the Financial District to various places like LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in Queens and the New Botanical Garden in the Bronx. We used all three bridges: 1. The bridge over Hell Gate (East River strait) and the East River, connecting Queens to Manhattan (Randalls Island). 2. The bridge over the Harlem River, connecting Randalls Island to Manhattan Island. 3. The bridge over Bronx Kill (narrows), connecting Randalls Island to the Bronx. For those unfamiliar, you read that right -- the RFK Bridge is actually comprised of three separate bridges. Also, the RFK Bridge is also known by its former name, the Triborough Bridge (a name which makes more sense). The bridge was renamed after RFK on November 19, 2008. RFK was President John F Kennedy's brother and a New York senator from 1965 to 1968, in addition to US attorney general (1961-1964). He was assassinated in 1965. The RFK Bridge is a toll bridge. It serves I-278 which runs from Linden, New Jersey to the Bronx. The bridges were fine all the times we used them. On our way in from LGA, we took the RFK Bridge to get to Lower Manhattan instead of the Brooklyn Bridge because of traffic. Tolls at the time of writing this review, effective August 6, 2023, are: E-ZPass: $6.94 Mid-Tier: $9.11 Tolls by Mail: $11.19 You can check toll details, traffic conditions, alerts, and other status info for the RFK Bridge and other NYC bridges and tunnels on the MTA's (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) website here: https://www.mta.info/agency/bridges-and-tunnels read more

So many potholes. Darn it. Drive below the posted speed limit and you won't get a ticket but someone might collide with your rear bumper

Charter bus went over this bridge. Seemed to be smooth with little to no traffic. Seemed like a nice view, but it was dark. No complaints. Defiantly better than any bridge in Rhode Island. read more

Do you love walking faster than you drive? Do you love sitting in bumper to bumper traffic? Do you love potholes? Do you enjoy it taking 45 minutes to get you and your car from Astoria to the Bronx or Manhattan? Then this is the bridge for you!!! All I can say is how great this bridge is!!!! I truly love sitting in traffic on here each and every day twice a day! It is truly the highlight of my life!!! Another one of my favorite things on here is that from what I believe is some sort of mental hospital up until you get to the Bronx or Manhattan, you have no cellphone services! For as long as your ride takes! Amazing!!! I will say that traffic is a hair smoother since they put overhead lanes in, but the highways that it connects are just horrific.... If you can, Id avoid this bridge... Stay where you are lol! The city can rebuild this bridge and make it better, but they do not care... Oh and watch out for random lane closures!!! Those are sooooo fun! All in all, yeah... NYC doesn't care about traffic. I hope everyone see the sarcasm in this review, because NYC is just a joke when it comes to driving anywhere. read more

Robert F. Kennedy Bridge I've been over this bridge many times. I'm not sure I would want to drive over it every day to and from work. I'm a fan of bridges from a distance. I appreciate the beauty of looking at a bridge as a man made work of art that also serves a purpose. Looking at the bridge from my Window or when I walk along the East River, I see a masterpiece. I'm giving it four stars because I think it's pretty! read more

The Robert F. Kennedy Bridge connects the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens, three boroughs. It more specifically connects Astoria and Harlem. This bridge spans Randall's Island. Not as exciting as New York's better known bridges. This sucks to drive across, and it's a long walk. It's just a normal looking bridge. It's not fancy like the Brooklyn. This isn't full of tourists like that or the Williamsburg. It's so long and much of it isn't even over water, but really over an island. The bridge goes from Astoria Park in Queens, crosses the East River, then goes across Randall's Island until it gets to the Harlem River, goes across it, and then ends up in Harlem at 125th Street. It's a very long way to go. This is why most people don't walk across it. If you're lazy you can take a bus across. Several busses go across it. The M60 takes you from LaGuardia into Manhattan. read more

I took the Robert F Kennedy Bridge (aka Triborough Bridge) yesterday morning on the way to 99th and Madison Ave and it was breeeze both ways. Granted, I did avoid rush hour and headed into the city around 9:30am and came back around 1pm but still, couldn't have been easier. There has been a ton of construction over the last decade and it seems to have really improved the flow since I've used it last. I love the fact that it is now a toll booth-free bridge. Now that doesn't mean 'toll-free,' it simply means you get charged electronically via license plate capture. If you have EZ-Pass then it's $6.xx, which comes out your EZ-Pass account. If you don't have EZ-Pass, you'll receive a bill in the mail for $9.50 (not a fine, just the normal amount of the toll). Either way, it's such a better experience without all that toll congestion. I've read some reviews written by visitors and tourists who state their upset about the 'hidden electric toll.' Everyone's entitled to their own view but keep in mind, all map and gps apps give you a heads up about the toll. In my opinion, when visiting a new city and renting a car, it is the customers responsibility to ask their rental salesperson all pertinent questions, including those about possible tolls. I know they are rental agents but in reality they have a high volume sales job and thus won't often won't divulge helpful info unless asked. It is also each individual's responsibility to map out their own routes, whether a local or a visitor. I know the tolls seem to get higher every year and while I hope that trends slows town, I do appreciate the improvements made to our city's infrastructure, even if does seem to be a constant and neverending process. At least it's getting done. By the way, to all those who love walking across Bridges, the RFK bridge has some of the best views around, especially during sunrise or sunset. They have an awesome enclosed walking lane going in both directions and it is quite the workout. You can even walk to Randall's Island pretty easily, just make sure to start your walk from the Astoria side. read more

This is a review that will highlight the pedestrian path. The RFK Bridge pretty much links Manhattan, the Bronx, and Astoria to each other. The pedestrian bridge also takes you to Randall's Island, which is necessary to run, walk, or bike to either the Bronx or Astoria. The Manhattan to Randall's Island portion is about 0.75 miles and is relatively quiet. Because some homeless people congregate in Triboro Park, the ramp leading up to the bridge can be a bit messy with trash, clothes, and other personal items. Since this is a relatively "quiet" portion of the city (i.e. little to no tourists), one rarely encounters a huge number of folks crossing the Bridge, which I guess could be both a good and bad thing. Similar to the Manhattan to Randall's Island portion, the Randall's Island to the Bronx section is pretty quiet too. There is a bit of an incline for the Bronx section, but it's pretty manageable. The Randall's Island to Astoria portion of the RFK is where things get pretty "exciting" because you will see nice views of Manhattan's skyline and the East River. I have to admit that sometimes I fear the Randall's Island to Astoria portion (well, more specifically running from Astoria to Randall's Island) because a bit of the pedestrian path on the bridge just has a waist-high railing. Because of this mid-height railing, it's just you a small railing, and the East River. With the gusts of wind, sometimes it can feel like the wind will push you off of the bridge. Eek! Also, it does not help that a few cyclists do not slow down when riding past you; it's best to let them pass by. Note for cyclists, there are a couple of bits that has stairs so you will have to dismount your bicycle and carry it. If you have a fear of heights, then you definitely will NOT like this portion of the bridge. That said, I will say that the views of Manhattan, Astoria, and the Hell's Gate Bridge are quite breathtaking. read more

Also called the Triboro Bridge. It links Manhattan, Queens, and The Bronx. It's sort of 3 separate bridges that connect to each other over Randalls Island. There's a toll. It doesn't slow things down because it's electronic. It's not the most interesting bridge, but it gets the job done. read more

This review is for the bike/pedestrian path. My scooter and I crossed this bridge via Randall's Island to Queens and while it seemed pretty cool at first, the pathway is really narrow and the railing/barrier is so short. Because I was so high up and with so many cars zipping by, it felt as though the slightest wind can push me off the edge. There were a couple of stairs I had to carry my scooter up/down. This might be an issue if you have a heavier bike/scooter. Otherwise, there weren't too many people around and some nice views of the city while crossing, but I was too busy being scared of getting blown off. Not to mention you're sharing this path with pedestrians and other cyclists too. TIP: Just go slow-ish and don't panic. read more

Robert F Kennedy Bridge - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - New York, New York

Previously known as Triborough Bridge, this bridge connects Queens, Manhattan, and Bronx together. Hoever, there are tolls.

It's short and it's fat and it's overpriced. Sometimes it takes forever to get you there and when you do you wonder if it was even worth it. It's owned by a "Man" that never plays without a "Hat-on." He has two lovers, Bronxita and Queenie. Regardless of which one he's dating, he's making them pay for the date. Sometimes it's both of them together. Oh and he recently changed his name and made all his friends foot the legal bills. And everyone still calls him by his old name anyway. And did I mention it's really short and really fat and as hard as concrete. But enough about my Dad. Let's discuss the RFK (formerly Triboro) bridge. I've crossed this bridge probably only 15 times in my life even though I should have crossed it 150 times. This is because I make a concerted effort to avoid it, and use the free crossings instead. If you have a problem with that talk to my agent. He's a terrible agent but a wonderful human being. And that's how I got into showbiz and met Hannah. It's well publicized that changing the name of this bridge was very expensive to the taxpayers and in my opinion, a lot of that money probably went in someone's pocket which is probably why they did it. There was no massive movement to have it named after Bobby. There are lots, and lots, and lots of important bridges around the country which could have been renamed, or new bridges which could have been named, in his honour, without spending that much money on it. My other major complaint is the price. Just a mile down the road you can cross to the Bronx for free. Just a couple of miles down the other way you can cross the Queensboro for free too. And yet if you use this bridge, you're paying a decent chunk of your hourly wage in either direction. And it just annoys me. Charging a ton to get into NYC, I can live with. But charging New Yorkers for passing from one borough to the other, is immensely frustrating. Especially when some bridges are free and some are mid price (like this one) in both directions and some are obscenely priced but only in one direction. Idgi. Well I do get it. Money money money. But you know, by charging all these different amounts for different crossings, it just creates a lot of traffic confusion. Bottlenecking on the free bridges. They're still not taking credit cards (or are they now?). The bridge itself is fine. It's not as much of a health hazard as some NY area bridges. The views are excellent. You can see Rikers, you can see Manhattan, you can see the towerblocks of the Bronx and Spencer waving to you from them. You can see the glinting eateries of Astoria with Jando down there screaming "come and get some street food!" You can see Manhattan stretched out before you like an overpriced masseuse waiting to prod you in places that your mother never wanted you to be prodded. Wait. I don't understand that simile or that reference. Because my mother always wanted me prodded. I don't even know if it's a simile. Metaphor. Whatever. Maybe it's a smiley instead of a simile. :) There. That's better. So it's a nice looking bridge (but not the prettiest) with great views (but not the very best views), and it has a fantastic name, RFK (and yet everyone calls it the Triboro and it cost millions to change all the signs and such), and when you add to this fact that it's often very backed up at random times of day, and that you have to pay both ways through the bottom, then I can't give it more than a three. I'm really sorry Triboro. I mean RFK. Heart you. By the way RFK was one of my fave political guys ever. And would have been President. And what's the difference between JFK working on people's teeth, and an Indian mother? One was Presi-dental. And the other is Desi-parental. OK that was bad. But not as bad as this. (PDP) read more

I take this bridge everyday to and from work. I am usually on the bridge by 5:15-5:30am in the morning so there is never any traffic but when my schedule was changed temporarily to later hours I was on the bridge by 6:15am and it was a little traffic...usually due to construction or just more cars on the road. When I leave for work and reach the bridge by 2:45pm or when I do over time and get there by 5pm (which is worse), there are ALWAYS delays from the cash lines which back up the EZ Pass lane. Maybe they should hire more workers or people that work a little quicker because the lines are outrageous. They should maybe create a system such as the Tappan Zee Bridge that have no toll booths just read the EZ Pass from inside the car or send the toll fee in the mail. Besides the cash lanes that back up traffic...the bridge is a beautiful landmark and I love looking at it from Astoria Park! read more

OK - let's just put this out here now - this is the TRIBORO Bridge and will always be known as that by New Yorkers. Nothing against Bobby Kennedy, but to dump a $4,000,000 price tag on the tax payers for all the name and signage change is just ridiculous in these tough economic times. Just bad city planning once again. There was nothing wrong with the old name. Why change it? That being said, I actually love living close to this bridge. As I live on the upper east side and travel a lot for biz the Triboro offers super quick access to LaGuardia airport, and is also the route to take to get to JFK airport. Yes, there is a toll for this one so be sure to get in the EZ pass lanes on the left, or cash on the right. Can be backed up especially during rush hour morning and night. Be prepared to wait. Also, this bridge offers a quick route to Randall's Island where there is a golf driving range, mini golf, tennis courts, batting cages, soccer, and ball fields. read more

i guess when you change the name you raise the prices. Tri-Boro to Robert F Kennedy Bridge; raise prices as you see fit. I remember the day Tri-Boro (RFK) was 50 cents. then it seem over the course of a year or so prices when through the roof. It seem people where still willing to pay; no matter what. Booooooooo. The bridge is very convenient for my wife and I. Get on, first exit, we are home. Easy as pie. We still take the 59 Street Bridge; oops Ed Koch Bridge; when we don't want to pay and be cheap, but the Tri-Boro (RFK) is so close to home. OUCH as my EZ Pass gets charged. I feel pain........ TIP: don't speed on the bridge or make an illegal turn on to the bridge. BE WARN. You will pay the price. read more

Even though this bridge is really short, the views are cool. It connects you to the Bronx, Queens , and Manhattan. I use it to get to get back to Queens from the city. I wish the drive over it was longer because the views are really cool. I have lived in NYC all my life and I never get tired of seeing the NYC skylines. Oh and you must pay a toll. I would recommend. read more

Little known walking and bike tours offered along side on the foot paths above the roadway" You can either walk the bridge entering at 125th Street and 2nd Avenue or Hoyt Avenue in Astoria. The bridge from a walking perspective is broken into two parts and takes about three hours to walk, Local civic organizations such as the the Greater Astoria Historical Society offer spectacular walking tours on both ends of Randall's Island. In my opinion the views from the RFK are more spectacular than the Brooklyn Bridge with views of the East River and Hell Gate Bridge where you can watch Amtrak trains race by on their way to Boston and back to NYC/Washington DC. Walking/biking tours along the RFK Bridge pedestrians the chance to go to Randall's Island from Astoria or 125th Street from Manhattan. A MUST if you like to walk the city and its bridges. A truly spectacular experience. read more

I know this as the Triboro but RFK is good too. This toll bridge connects three of the boros, hence the name Tri Boro. Manhatten, Queens, and the Bronx. I usually use it from Queens to get to New Jersey via the George Washington Bridge. Also connects you with the Bruckner Expressway if you are heading north to I 95. You catch it on 125th Street on the East Side in Manhatten. The Grand Central Parkway takes you right there on the Queens side. Usually not too much traffic getting over the bridge, especially if you have EZ Pass. read more

I LOVE MY TRIBORO BRIDGE, this is a great bridge to jog across and the experience is so cool and I would say any runner must do at least once in life time. Yes the smog is nasty but so the rest of the city. Driving over it is also a neat experience, I always get kick out of seeing the city light and famous Hell Gate bridge. The bridge also provides cover for the park below. Amongst many bridges in the city this is my favorite one. With that said, WTF is the $4M name change!? Who the heck did RFK do to Queens? read more

It must be totally obvious that I'm as far as you can get from a New Yorker when I hop in the back of a taxi and the taxi driver asks me how he should get to my place..."Uh, the fastest way I guess". Yep, that's my answer every time. Now that I have frequented NY more than once I can say that 9 times out of 10 that the Robert F Kennedy Bridge is the fastest way to get to Manhattan. I've had taxi's that have used other bridges and this bridge is by far the cheapest and the fastest from LaGuardia. There is a toll but even with the toll included in the price it's still cheaper than the other routes I've taken. Hopefully, my next visit to NY the taxi drivers will have to take a second glance before realizing I'm not a local. I still look like I don't belong; I doubt this will ever change. read more

Note: I write this review as one perennially on a bicycle, using the bridge as such. This is a review regarding how I see the RFK bridge vis-a-vis riding by bike. In that regard, it's not bad. I've started riding from Astoria to either Washington Heights or the Bronx. I can use this bridge to do either. There is some looping back around here and there, but it's not so bad or time-consuming. For example, I cross the RFK in northern Astoria to the southern edge of Randalls Island, head more or less to the middle of the island, loop back south on the western edge, to head over to Manhattan via the Wards Island Bridge, along smooth pavement all the while. I probably lose seven minutes looping back around - not ideal, but pretty good, all things considered - and a great way to avoid taking the subway when I'd like to venture from Queens to northern Manhattan, or the Bronx. Speaking of which - getting to the Bronx is a bit annoying. From Astoria, the RFK dumps you in a derelict area of the south Bronx, with a surfeit of warehouses and trucks. I lose a few minutes avoiding the highway and taking various side streets. But it's not so bad. On the RFK bridge itself, I have to pick up my bike a few times and climb up or down steps. That's annoying. Finding the entrance to the pedestrian walkway from Randalls Island to the Bronx is tricky at first. Once you find it, though, you can bike from Queens to the Bronx pretty much straight up, with only a few pauses along the way for stairs, getting down from the sidewalk, etc. All in all, I'm pretty happy that I can bike directly from Queens to Manhattan or the Bronx. The RFK bridge makes it possible. It takes me about the same amount of time to bike to either as it does to take the subway, even to the extreme edges of northern Manhattan or the north Bronx. So why not bike? read more

What can I say? This bridge takes me about a 15 minute drive from Harlem to Flushing! There's a toll fee, but it's not that costly, especially when I have an e-z pass. Most importantly, it saves me TIME! Time is precious nowadays. You can do more with your time by taking this bridge. So yeah, why not? I'm still trying to get used to the bridge's name change to Robert F Kennedy lol read more

This review is solely for walking over the bridge. We live in Harlem and we drive over it all the time and that's not an issue. My husband and I like walking over bridges. It's kind of our thing. And we've pretty much done them all now (except the GWB which I've run over but he still hasn't gone over it on foot). This one totally sucks compared to the others. We used this to get to Randall's Island today. The pedestrian entrance is easy to find but full of litter. Whatever. But the walkway was pretty much deserted except for your random crazy or homeless person. It makes me nervous when a bridge is so deserted, especially if I was to be running over it alone. There are many hidden corners where people could be lurking. I'm definitely not saying that there are people lurking but it creeps me out to think so. As a runner, I'd love to use this to run over to Randall's Island. But my husband and I agree it's probably not a good idea for me to do alone. Not only are there the hidden corners and no one else on the walkway, but when you get off the bridge on Randall's Island it's like a weird deserted parking area. We actually got a little lost as to which was to go to get to the golf center (it's right toward the river not to the left). The walkway to connect to get to Queens and the Bronx is also deserted and sketchy to be alone. Honestly I'm not one to be nervous to go places in NYC. I used to walk 20 minutes in Brownsville to get to Brookdale hospital and I wasn't nervous. But this would make me nervous. The city should clean it up a bit and encourage it's use more to get to Randall's Island. read more

Full disclosure: I see this bridge from my backyard. It greets me every evening when I get home from work. I spent my childhood almost literally in its shadow (by just a few blocks). Does this give me a bias? Maybe. I have probably driven over the Triboro (Nothing against RFK, but I still prefer to call it by its original name) Bridge over 100 (and that is a conservative estimate) times. It is the quickest way for me to drive into Harlem, the Bronx, Westchester, and New England. The bridge is very convenient for me. Of course, the main negative is the toll. It's not a cheap crossing. Convenient and quick will cost you money. OK, I know some of you probably rolled your eyes on the "quick" comment. Yes, there are times when traffic can be horrific, especially during the morning and evening rush hours. From my standpoint, it is still probably a bit quicker than driving to the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, which will have it's own traffic problems at those times as well. And try driving to the Whitestone Bridge when the Mets are playing. I've walked over this bridge a few times. I love seeing my neighborhood, and my house, from above. And you do get a great view of Astoria Park and the East River too. One day I may walk to see the Astoria fireworks (usually a few days or a week before the 4th of July) from there. The bridge also looks pretty nice at night. read more

I prefer this bridge going into the Bronx/Westchester County more than the Whitestone because it's less crowded and roomier to drive on the highway. Even though the Whitestone would put you closer in the Bronx and Westchester County. read more

"Excuse me, son?" I ain't your son, fool. I'm too damn good-looking. "Yes?" "How can we get to the RFK?" "The what? RFK stadium is in D.C."

Still can't believe the city spent $4 million to change the signs. read more

I'm never quite sure how you are supposed to review a bridge. But if you wanted to find yourself a bridge that will literally take you everyone, it would have to be the Triborough Bridge. Unfortunately the Triborough Bridge was renamed the RFK bridge a few years back as part of a failed effort to promote Caroline Kennedy's accession to the US Senate Seat which was being vacated by Hillary Clinton. Apparently someone thought NY needed to be reminded that RFK used to be the Senator from New York and the best way to make everyone remember the Kennedy linkage to the state was to rename a bridge after him. Whoever thought this was a good idea was insane because all that happened was a $ 4 million charge to the people for putting up new signs all over the place. That money could have been used so much better in so many other places. I love RFK's legacy, but give me a break. Anyway, the Triborough Bridge as I will continue to call it, is an amazing bridge. It makes travel from the upper east side to Queens to see my Mets and to the Bronx to see that other team so easy! Very glad to have the Triborough so close. Without it, getting around NYC would be a huge pain. read more

Will they ever finish construction on this bridge?? It seem like since I got my driving license until today they are still working on this bridge. Sometime I winder if they started using the bridge before they even finished :) The bridge connect many roads, and connect your credit card to the government every time you are using it... read more

The RFK Bridge foolishly had construction trucks blocking the middle lanes during Thanksgiving holiday travels yesterday which slowed up traffic quite a bit, but once passing the trucks-smooth sailing. The bridge itself is iconic and I always feel quite nostalgic when driving over it because my first time ever driving over the bridge into the city is a memory I will never forget shared with my mom. The first time driving over a bridge can be very daunting and of course it was windy but this solid and sound structure connects transient travelers from one borough to the next. I took the bridge to 2nd Avenue and 125th and then maneuvered my way through Harlem and cut across to Riverside to head onto the GWB towards Northern Jersey. Based on my WAZE app, I saved about 40 minutes off my journey going in this way. I highly recommend it to anyone. read more

This will always be known as the Tribourgh to me. Hopefully when they finish the construction it will be less backed up, but I doubt it. On most days it's backed up and sitting in traffic you get a great whiff of the joys of the east river. Unfortunately there are not many other options on getting home to the UES, so this will have to do for now. read more

Other than that, it gets me too and from the different boroughs for a ridiculously overpriced toll. Evening rush hour is always jammed, so just be patient people!! read more
