Historic Broadway Lift Bridge (NYC) — Attraction in New York

Oh, I see. If I accidentally click the mouse anywhere on the page outside the box to write my review, my entire review disappears without asking me. I wrote a long review and before hitting "publish" (and I didn't click on the "X" to X out the box),and the whole thing vanished without asking me anything, as had happened before. So, here's a brief synopsis. It's short, a few minute walk across on a noisy walkway. Noisy because there's lots of traffic, but it's moving, not stuck, and a subway overhead. As a swing bridge, it does open, very infrequently. And if you're on the train, or want to go somewhere on it when the bridge opens, you're screwed, because the whole line goes out of service north of the 215 Street station.

It is however, showing signs of aging and a bit of neglect on the city and state level, as rust and ugly graffiti manifest throughout. Nevertheless, it is an iconic experience...

I haven't walked this bridge for a awhile now but its cool that it also connects the Bronx and the last tip of Upper Manhattan and the only bridge that is less time consuming unlike the others that besides being more time consuming, are also more riskier and in most cases unsafer especially when crying to cross the street and then cars tend to speed faster before you and refuse to wait for the people to pass by. I have seen this bridge years before I even walked it. Oh and you can see the view of the Harlem River which I believe comes to its endpoint from this bridge. Good thing is located on a nice area...
