The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed and built by Polish bridge engineer Ralph Modjeski with the deflection cables designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. It has 4 vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). There are 3 vehicle lanes, 4 subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway on the lower level. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has 2 lanes in each direction, and the lower level can be one-way in peak direction or have 2 lanes in one direction and the other in the opposite direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use Manhattan Bridge.

 

The original pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge was reopened after sixty years in June 2001. It was also used by bicycles until late summer 2004, when a dedicated bicycle path was opened on the north side of the bridge, and again in 2007 while the bike lane was used for truck access during repairs to the lower motor roadway.

Flatbush Avenue is a major avenue in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn. It runs from the Manhattan Bridge south-southeastward to Jamaica Bay, where it joins the Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens. The north end was extended to the Manhattan Bridge as "Flatbush Avenue Extension."

The back corner of the garden area. These are some sort of Asian tree, or so one of my neighbors thinks, and is essentially a weed. I will probably prune it back. There are vines creeping up the back cement wall and stretching onto our building. In the mound of dirt in the back right corner, I've found soda cans, plastic cups, used condoms and wrappers, packing peanuts, tissues, broken glass, bottle caps and more. Quite a party.

A plywood construction fence was recently erected in preparation for the demolition of the remaining buildings on this block. This is the site of the Barclays Center Arena of Atlantic Yards.

 

636 Pacific Street, the building on the left, was the former home of Daniel Goldstein, one of the last residents on this block.

many speculate that road closures will be necessary during events at the proposed Barclay's Arena in Atlantic Yards. roads around the Prudential Center in New Jersey are closed during events to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack.

 

Atlantic Yards Report recently explored this issue.
