	Verrazano Narrows Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Verrazano Narrows Bridge (often written as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge) is a suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.
		The bridge was the last great public works project in New York City overseen by Robert Moses, the New York Parks Commissioner and head of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, who had long desired the bridge as means of completing the expressway system which was itself largely the result of his efforts.
		The bridge remained the longest suspension bridge in the world from 1964 until 1981 when it was eclipsed by the Humber Bridge in England.

On the Bronx side the bridge feeds into the Bruckner–Cross Bronx Expressway (I-95), Hutchinson River Parkway, and New England Thruway, and leads to N.J., Westchester co., upstate N.Y., and New England.
		Near the bridge on the Bronx side are the residential communities of Throgs Neck and Locust Point and the State Univ. of N.Y., Maritime Col. at Fort Schuyler.

		Those here before the bridge tend to use two G's while newcomers, those who arrived after the construction of the Throgs Neck Bridge in 1960, tend to use one G. Both spellings are acceptable.
		Throgs Neck Boulevard was originally spelled "Throgg's Neck Boulevard" but, when the city changed the signs, the new spelling was accepted with much complaint.
