HELL GATE BRIDGE

DESCRIPTION Photographed from Astoria, Queens, this image captures the Hell Gate Bridge in its commanding form. Spanning 1,017 feet across the East River, this steel arch bridge was completed in 1916 and once held the title of the longest steel arch bridge in the world. Its name originates from the stretch of water beneath it, known as Hell Gate, a treacherous channel notorious for its dangerous currents and shipwrecks.
