Project: Throgs Neck Bridge

Client: E.E. Cruz Holmdel, New Jersey



The Throgs Neck Bridge is a suspension bridge opened on January 11, 1961 carrying Interstate 295 over the East River where it meets the Long Island Sound. The bridge connects the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx with the Bayside section of Queens. It is the newest bridge across the East River and was built to relieve traffic on the adjacent Whitestone Bridge which opened in 1939.
MTA Bridges and Tunnels has awarded a $96.7 million contract to E. E. Cruz & Company, Inc. of Holmdel, New Jersey for roadway deck reconstruction of the Queens approach to the Throgs Neck Bridge, which links the Bronx to Queens and Long Island. The work will take place over the next two-and-a-half years.
