[3][43] By December 1926, the $50,000 allotment had been spent on bores. [3][205][217] Of this, $16 million came from the city and $9 million directly from the PWA. [200] PWA administrator Ickes's attendance was only finalized four days beforehand. Note that the bridge’s South Walkway will continue to remain open for public access. [29] Traffic from the Manhattan span was temporarily diverted during this project. [235] The TBA became the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) in 1946 after it took over the construction of the Queens–Midtown Tunnel and Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel, though TBTA operations continued to be managed from the Triborough Bridge. [215][216] In either case, the Triborough Bridge was one of the largest public works projects of the Great Depression, more expensive than the Hoover Dam. Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Superior Officers Benevolent Association 451 Sunrise Highway Suite 3 Lynbrook, N.Y. 11563.

[263], The toll revenues from the Triborough Bridge pay for a portion of the public transit subsidy for the New York City Transit Authority and the commuter railroads. The new toll plaza structure was completed in 2019. [150] The first of those roads, the Grand Central Parkway extension from Kew Gardens to the Triborough Bridge, was planned to start construction in spring 1934. All E-ZPass users with transponders not issued by the New York E-ZPass CSC will be required to pay Toll-by-mail rates. [18] After the groundbreaking ceremony, further construction was delayed because the company originally contracted to build the piers, the Albert A. Volk Company, refused to carry out the contract. [239] The entire Bruckner Expressway except for the Bruckner Interchange opened in 1962,[240] while the entire Brooklyn-Queens Expressway was completed in 1964. Superior Officers Benevolent Association [55] In August 1928, Mayor Jimmy Walker received a similar proposal from the Long Island Board of Commerce to build the Tri-Borough Bridge using $32 million of private capital. [34] Queens borough president Maurice K. Connolly also opposed the bridge, arguing that there was no need to construct a span between Queens and the Bronx due to low demand. [161] Ickes threatened to withhold salaries for TBA workers as well. Additional off-peak and overnight lane closures will be required. [12][24][25] Randalls and Wards Islands are accessed via exits and entrances to and from westbound I-278; to and from the westbound lift bridge viaduct; to eastbound I-278; and from the eastbound lift bridge viaduct. All exits are unnumbered. [13] By August 1931, it was reported that the Wards Island anchorage was 33% completed, and that the corresponding anchorage on the Queens side was 15% completed. [57] Yet another plan called for financing the bridge using proceeds from a bond issue, which would also pay for the proposed Queens–Midtown Tunnel. [64], In early March, the Board of Estimate voted to start construction on the bridge and on the Narrows tunnel once funding was obtained. [210], The ferry between Yorkville, Manhattan, and Astoria, Queens, was made redundant by the new Triborough Bridge. [189], The 300-by-84-foot superstructure of the Harlem River lift span was assembled in Weehawken, New Jersey. [97] The steel company constructing the towers challenged the TBA's decision in an appellate court, but the court ruled in favor of the TBA. [147], Moses continued to advocate for new roads and parkways to feed into the bridge. [202] The ceremony for the Triborough Bridge was held at the interchange plaza, and was attended by President Roosevelt, Mayor La Guardia, Governor Lehman, PWA administrator Ickes, and Postmaster General James A. Farley, who all gave speeches. [124] However, the loan would only be given under a condition that 18,000 workers be hired first,[125] so the city's Board of Estimate voted to hire 18,000 workers to work on the Triborough project.
