Vintage Postcard, Triboro Bridge, New York City

Vintage Postcard view of the three components of the Triboro Bridge: 1) Triboro Suspension Bridge, 2) Harlem River Lift Bridge and 3) Bronx Kills Crossing. Please see notes on the image to find the location of Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens.

 

The word "Triboro" means 3 boroughs of New York City = Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens.

 

The Triboro Suspension Bridge, completed in 1936, links Queens and Ward's Island.
