	East River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The East River is both a tidal strait and a tidal estuary in New York City connecting Upper New York Bay on its south end to Long Island Sound on its north end.
		Historically, the lower portion of the river (separating Manhattan from Brooklyn) was one of the busiest and most important channels in the world, particularly during the first three centuries of New York City's history.
		Along the east of Ward's Island, at approximately the strait's midpoint, it narrows into a channel called Hell Gate, which is spanned by both the Triborough Bridge and the Hell Gate Bridge.

	Tunnel Under the East River
		CHARLES F. The East River Gas Company of Long Island City was a corporation chartered under the Laws of the State of New York, to supply gas in Long Island City, N.
		The width of the channels of the river, combined with the inability to obtain equal back sights, made it somewhat risky to use a Y-level to determine the level benches on either side, and therefore resort was had to the level of the river at dead slack water.
		The two channels of the East River divided by Blackwell's Island are looked upon as forming the ancient valleys of a double glacier, which, flowing across from the Hudson Valley by way of the Harlem, divided on the north end of Blackwell's Island.
