Robert F. Kennedy Bridge

Completed in 1936 and originally named the Triborough Bridge, it comprises three separate sections—a suspension bridge crossing the East River, a lift bridge spanning the Harlem River, and a fixed bridge across the Bronx Hills. Including the viaducts that connect the sections, the bridge's total length is c.3 mi (4.8 km). It was renamed in 2008.
