	Pulaski Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is named after Polish military commander and American Revolution fighter Kazimierz Pułaski (Casimir Pulaski), probably because of the large Polish population in Greenpoint.
		The Pulaski Bridge, designed by Frederick Zurmuhlen and opened to traffic on September 10, 1954, is a bascule bridge, a type of drawbridge.
		The pedestrian sidewalk is on the west side of the bridge, which has good views of the industrial areas surrounding Newtown Creek, the skyline of Manhattan, and of a number of other bridges, including the Williamsburg Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge, and the Kosciuszko Bridge.

	Kazimierz Pułaski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The state of Illinois has since 1977 celebrated Casimir Pulaski Day on the first Monday of March, doubtless due to the large Polish population of Chicago; Pulaski Road, one of Chicago's major arteries, is named for him.
		Named after Pulaski are counties in several states, including Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Virginia, as well as a village in Wisconsin.
		The Pulaski Skyway in northern New Jersey and the Pulaski Bridge in New York City are dedicated to him.

		Trains were reberthed to stop on the new platforms west of Pulaski, so railings were installed on the trackside of the curved sections of the old platforms that now served only as walkways connecting the fare controls on the east with the loading area on the west.
		The bridge was finished in the style of the Green Line station architecture, with a green and white steel structure, green handrails and mesh plates below the railing, and attractive green metal gooseneck lamps.
		The bridge is available for use during the community center hours only, which currently were weekdays from 0900 to 1700 hours at the time the building opened.

		Pulaski’s name would go on to grace our nation’s burgeoning automotive infrastructure—highways, byways, bridges and skyways—as well as a fort, a memorial day and a Washington monument.
		Pulaski Bridge, the rarely drawn drawbridge spanning Newton Creek, connecting Greenpoint with Long Island City, was completed in 1954.
		The Pulaski Bridge was renovated in the 1990s, but its graceless concrete still looks worn, squatting low and inactive over the murky creek.

	General Casimir Pulaski Memorial Skyway
		The bridge was originally called the "Diagonal Highway," as it was planned to cross diagonally the New Jersey Meadowlands with a "high-level, bridge-causeway complex." The following description captures its eventual design: "The two 550-foot-long main spans consist of cantilever steel through (Pratt) trusses that support flanking 350-foot-long suspended spans.
		Pulaski, known as the "Father of the American Cavalry," was bestowed the rank of Brigadier General by Congress in recognition of his leadership at the Battle of Brandywine of September 11, 1777.
		A continuing safety concern about the bridge is the lack of a safety shoulder in each direction that has been recommended in the event of a future reconstruction of the skyway.

	Bridges and Tunnels in New York and New Jersey in the United States
		All of its bridges did have non-motorized access, but it has become less friendly to non-motorists since the sidewalks on the Outerbridge Crossing and the Goethals Bridge are out and the sidewalk on the George WASHINGTON Bridge is closed overnight.

		The history of the railroad bridge and its movement patterns expressed by its rail tracks provide a basis for the design of the “immediate” touchdown area adjacent to the bridge’s south tower.
		Bridge access that is designed to capitalize on the different conditions on either side of the river, promoting easy access onto the bridge.
		In this regard, the first improvement proposed for the bridge is affordable, highly experiential and makes a dramatic change in the use and appearance of the historic rail bridge.

	Pulaski Skyway (US 1 and US 9)
		The construction of the Pulaski Skyway, part of the 13.2-mile-long "Route 1 Extension" project, was not only a reaction to the opening of the Holland Tunnel, but also an attempt to address the chronic freight congestion in the area of New York Harbor.
		However, the permits were denied due to "opposition voiced by navigation interests to additional bridges on these rivers." It was not until October 1929 that the New Jersey State Highway Department agreed to construct the third alternative after study by an advisory commission.
		In the next reconstruction of the Pulaski Skyway, the roadway should be widened such that a 10-foot-wide breakdown shoulder is provided in each direction.

		The Triboro Bridge is largely a mystery to me. Connecting the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, and crossing Randall/Ward Island, the Triboro seems remote from my daily life.
		At the midpoint of the bridge there was an amazing view of the Hell's Gate Bridge and the Bronx- I took it all in for ten minutes- traffic was at a dead stop on the bridge the whole time and I waved to a couple of cars.
		There was no way to exit the bridge until the path terminated at the northern end of the Island, so I skated that way and then down on to the service road.
