Kosciuszko Bridge (New York City)
The original bridge is a truss bridge that opened in 1939, replacing the Penny Bridge that connected Meeker Avenue in Brooklyn to Review Avenue and Laurel Hill Boulevard in Queens, and is the only bridge over Newtown Creek that is not a drawbridge. It was named in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish volunteer who was a General in the American Revolutionary War. Two of the bridge towers were surmounted with eagles, one with the Polish eagle and the other the American eagle.
