The Hell Gate Bridge, originally the New York Connecting Railroad Bridge[2] or the East River Arch Bridge, is a 1,017-foot (310 m) steel through arch railroad bridge in New York City. Originally built for four tracks, the bridge currently carries two tracks of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor and one freight track across the Hell Gate, a strait of the East River, between Astoria in Queens and Randalls and Wards Islands in Manhattan. The arch across the Hell Gate is the largest of three bridges that form the Hell Gate railroad viaduct. An inverted bowstring truss bridge with four 300-foot (91.4 m) spans crosses the Little Hell Gate, a former strait that is now filled in, and a 350-foot (106.7 m) fixed truss bridge crosses the Bronx Kill, a strait now narrowed by fill. Together with approaches, the bridges are more than 17,000 feet (3.2 mi; 5.2 km) long.[4] The designs of the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle, England, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in New South Wales, Australia, were derived from the Hell Gate Bridge.[5] Join this channel to get access to the perks:    / @itshistory   IT’S HISTORY - Weekly tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash. » CONTACT For brands, agencies and sponsorships, please contact us at [email protected]   / itshistoryx     / ryansocash   » CREDIT Sponsor - Established Titles Scriptwriter - Imana Schoch, Editor - Karolina Szwata, » SOURCES   / itshistory   » NOTICE Some images may be used for illustrative purposes only - always reflecting the accurate time frame and content.
