Label TextThe East River suspension bridge is the largest overwater unit of the Triborough system. "A pair of twenty and three quarter inch cables passing over two 315 foot steel towers carry eight traffic lanes to a height of 135 feet above the river,...its twin steel towers are lighter and simpler than those of the George Wasgington.. . and its mighty concrete abutments that anchor the cables clearly indicate their function." (New York City Guide, WPA, p.391).
