Massive New Blackwell’s Island Bridge To Link Long Island Rail
Ground broken at the New York end of the New Blackwell's Island bridge designed to carry four tracks plus a roadway and walks. Spans over river channels are listed, with the island span at 685 feet and a total across the river. The project connects Ravenswood to Sunnyside and links with the Long Island railroad, aiming for Manhattan access in about forty minutes. The cut off to Manhattan Beach would shorten trips from Union Station by over half, and the LI road will gain direct access to major New York routes once the New York and New Jersey bridge is finished.
