		The new bridge, which opened on January 1, 1895, was a single-deck steel swing span that imitated the design of the Madison Avenue Bridge.

	Talkin' Broadway Review: Bridge & Tunnel
		Jones has finally arrived on Broadway, where the show just reopened at the Helen Hayes, and she shows no sign of either slowing down or breaking a sweat.
		Watching the show today, one can easily understand its Off-Broadway allure: Being mere feet away from an astonishing young woman capable of transforming her body and soul into people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities is the kind of spine-tingling prospect Off-Broadway has always thrived on.
