Hell Gate Bridge

The Hell Gate Bridge, originally the New York Connecting Railroad Bridge or The East River Arch Bridge, is a 1,017-foot (310 m) steel through arch railroad bridge in New York City. The bridge crosses the Hell Gate, a strait of the East River, between Astoria in Queens and Randalls and Wards Islands in Manhattan. This bridge was the inspiration for the design of Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia, which is about 60% larger.
