  Bronx Whitestone Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bronx Whitestone Bridge, colloquially referred to as the "Whitestone Bridge", is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River and connects the boroughs of Queens and The Bronx.
The Whitestone Parkway became the Whitestone Expressway, and part of the Hutchinson was also converted to an expressway.
Although the neighborhood of Whitestone is located in Queens, several businesses on the Bronx side of the bridge include "Whitestone" in their names, owing to the bridge's often-shortened name.

 Red Hook, Brooklyn - Wired New York Forum
The neigbhorhood was physically cut off from the rest of the city when the Gowanus Expressway was built in 1946.
But a series of government miscalculations - like cutting the neighborhood off from the rest of Brooklyn with the Gowanus Expressway and the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, and shifts in the waterfront economy to containerized cargo - left the square-mile peninsula with forlorn blocks pocked by tumbledown houses, unkempt lots and hollow-eyed factories.
In recent years, however, Red Hook has become a vigorous place again, so much so that it is now a contested ground for apartment developers wanting to cash in on the views, artists and restaurateurs looking for cheap space, factories seeking a haven from gentrification elsewhere and old-line residents wanting to keep the old-time flavor.
