BROOKLYN TIMES UNION JULY 11. 1936 President Joins in Ceremonies Opening $60,000,000 Triborough Bridge SATURDAY ROUTES TO TRIBOROUGH BRIDGE AS SOL BEAT HEAT RECORD ROOSEVELT STOPS THOUSANDS TAKE i nTfTtSfew $44,100,000 loan and grant made by the. Public Works Administration in and under the direction of a new engineering staff directed by O. H. Ammann, a re-study of the design was made with the result of substantially lowering the cost through the omission of eight traffic lanes which" had been originally planned for the upper A portion of the saving made by this change in construction was devoted to the construction of the Kast River Drive, providing a Manhattan connection in territory as far south as East 92hd st.

where other existing highways are available as feeders. The work was resumed with the aid of the loan and grant in December, 1933. The revised plans were approved, by PWA in April, 1934, and since that time progress had been steady arid according to schedule. Up to the present time the project-provided 5.231.820' man hours of labor on the bridge site alone. Due to the nature of the work, engineers on the project estimate that foirr times -this amount of labor has been- provided in the shops and factories where the materials' for the bridge were fabricated.

More than 5,500 men were employed on the project. Members or Staff Lifted The Triborough Bridge Authority Is composed of Commissioners Nathan Burkan, chairman, (deceased); George V.

How To Reach' Bridge Corning in from Flushing or other points east of this, the motorists will pick up, the approach at the Junction of Northern blvd. and Grand Central Parkway Extension. The best route recommended from Brooklyn Is via Eastern to the entrance of the Intcrborough at Bushwick ave along ln-terborough pkwy. to Kew Gardens; turn left into Grand Central pkwy.

extension nnd into Flushing and across Northern thence into Astoria blvd. Motorists from points toward Brooklyn, such as Grcenpoint, Wil-liamsburgh, or Long Island City can use either Van Alst ave. or Steinway hich connect directly with the viaduct- approach. The Manhattan arm of the bridge leads the motorists to ths foot of 125th st. If proceeding downtown a left turn leads onto the East River which ends at 92d st.

and the East River. Another left turn leads into First ave. Those desiring to go uptown can proceed across 125th which connects Madison Seventh St. Nicholas and Broadway, leading directly to the north. The Bronx terminus connects with an approach '6 miles long, representing a widening and re-paving of Southern Whitlock and Eastern to Pelham Bay pkwy.

where it is but a short distance to the Boston Post Road leading directly- into Connecticut and other New England points. The total cost of the bridge amounts to $60,300,000. The following chart was prepared by Mr. Moses and gives in detail the financing of the project. Where the Money Canio From Before the creation of the Triborough Authority in the city appropriated Jta.400.fi0o.

After the Authority was creat ed, the city appropriated 000. From the PWA the Authority borrowed J35.00O.00O. PWA grant to the city of 30 per cent of cost of labor and materials $9, 200. 000. Total cost.

How the Money Was Sent Land for the bridge cost the citv $2,100,000. the Authority $8,300,000. Land for highway approaches cost the city $10,700,000. The Authority $4. BOO.OOn.

Citv spent on construction The Authority $20,100,000. On construction of highway ap proaches, Authority spent 1 ooo. Total cxperises $fi2. 300,000, How the Borrowed Money Will Be Repaid. Total debt of Authority in first mortgage bonds held by Govern ment is Debt to be amortized over 20 FIGURES years with payments starting on 1938, at $500,000.

And rising to maximum on Sept. 1, 1957, of $2,900,000. Interest at 4 per cent to be paid annually on -unamortized balances will amount in the first year to $1,400,000. And the last year to $1 16,000. Increased Land Values Seen The $60,300,000 total cost of the Triborough Bridge ranks it above the $35,000,000 Golden Gate Bridge and second only to the $75,000,000 San Francisco Bay Bridge.

It is the largest completed PWA project in the East. In economic importance it is probably exceeded by no other bridge, for by providing a direct connection between the three boroughs It will materially relieve the congestion on the present fcast River crossings, saving as much as an hour in running time between the Bronx and Queens for the thousands of vehicles that will use the structure daily. It will also open up two new city parks on the islands crossed. It js expected that the bridge will usher in increases in land values and that there will be an expansion in indus trial properties In the Bronx and Queens, paralleling similar results that have taken place upon the opening of each one of the East Kiver crossings. The history, of the bridge dates back 20 years and began with a suggestion by the Department of Plant and Structures indicating that a study had been made of such a project.

It was not until 1925 that the project began to assume tangible shape through a small appropriation for surveys, borings and plans. With the appointment of Albert Goldman, now Postmaster of Manhattan, as Commissioner of Plant and Structures in 1926 the project was actively placed under way. The original appropriation for the studies was substantially increased, resulting in the preparation and adoption of what is now to all intents and purposes the present gen- i eral plan. I nder Mr. Goldman's direction lynstr Alas ci "vhen i nstruction was begun in 1 129 and continued until early In 1 3 3 the work had to be suspended I after an expenditure of about for the anchorages, the tower foundations, and portion of the.

land required for the ap-; proaches. Authority Is Appointed Subsequently, In the belief that the project would be self-liquldit- lng it was turned over by the city to the Triborough Bridge Authority in April, 1932. which agency promptly made application to the Administration for a loan and grant of the necessary money to complete the work already begun. At this time the work had been under the supervision of Chief Engineer Edward A. Byrne, who was responsible for the original study in 1916 and who had continuously devoted himself to the furthering of this plan.

Bridge 17 i Miles long Because the main suspension span from Astoria to Ward's Island is the most conspicuous structure of the project, the Triborough Bridge Is commonly thought of as one bridge. Actually it Is an Immense artery for traffic, extending 17'A miles In length, with three amis Into Manhattan, Queens and ths Bronx. The overall length includes 14 miles of highway approaches, four bridges over water andf 12 bridges or grade, separations on land. This Includes all sorts-of bridges, highways, crossing cuts and park and parkway construction. The four main bridges on the project arc: 'the Kast River Crossing suspension bridge from Astoria to Ward's iMlnnd; the Little Hell.

Gate Bridge, connecting Ward's nnd Randall's Islands; the Harlem River crossing bridge, Joining Manhattan to Randall's Island and the Bronx Kills Crossing connecting Randall's Island with the Bronx mainland, The suspension bridge over the East River at Hell' Gate, which parallels tho Hefl Gate Bridge of the New York connecting Railroad, has a main span of 1,380 feet between towers, and two side; spans each 70S feet in length. The two suspension cables, 211 -H Inches each In diameter pass over two 315-foot towers that are embedded In 60,000 ruble yards! of concrete at the Ward's Island anchorage and ruble yards of concrete on the Astoria side!

The tops of the towers are to be finished with an architectural lantern 30 feet high surmounted with aviation lights. The Little Hell Gates crossing joining Ward's and Randall's Island is a low level and long trcssle structure supported by a series of six 125 feet girders and stands 52 feet over high water. The bridge is fixed and cannot De opened.

Little Hell Gate is not navigable. Second in size to tne suspension bridge is the Harlem River crossing, connecting 125th Manhattan, with Randall's This is the largest vertical lift bridge in the country. The structure includes three spans with a total length of 722 feet. The vertical lift span is 310 feet long. The lift span weighs 2,050 tons and its 29,000 square feet of deck space is greater than any Other bridge.

It carries two three-lane roadways and sidewalks and, when closed, is 55 feet above the, river. The electric motors can lift it 80 feet higher to permit the passage of large Rron-Kills Crossing The Bronx-Kills crossing has a total overall length of 600 feet and is composed of three truss spans. The 350-foot center span can be converted into a vertical lift bridge if the Kills are ever made navigable. It carries two four-lane roadways and sidewalks. Krom the point of facility In handling traffic and for advancing radical Ideas of engineering, the most interesting section of the structure is the junction or hub of the bridge on Randall's Island where traffic cuts off for either Manhattan or the Bronx.

The junction Is so designed that there is not one left turn. The hub is an -elevated concrete structure made up of the viaduct from Ward's island, widened to 137 feet to provide for toll collections. It is circled by two ramps so that there are no crossing at grade and no left turns regardless of the destination of traffic. There are also ramps which provide direct access to the new Randall's Island park and the Municipal Stadium. All curves are banked and have been limited to a 24o-foot radius.

Tolls are to be collected at twoj points on this junction. All vehicles passing between Queens and the Bronx will pay at the booths in the area of the junction where the two roadways of the main viaduct are combined. Tabic or Bridge Tolls Olher vehicles not passing over the main viaduct from Queens to the Bronx, will pay at the booths on the Manhattan arm of tho Junction which leads to the Harlem River Crossing, or in going toward Queens, to the Little Hell Gate crossing. The table of bridge tolls is as follows: Classification Axles Rate Passenger nuto, all types; horse-drawn 2 $0.25 Trucks, not over 2 tons. 2 .25 Trucks over 2 tons, undor 5 tons 2 .35 Trucks, over 5 tons.

2 Bus 2 Truck-tractor; a o- trailer 3 .50 Motorcycle. 2 .15 Bicycles; animals per heud I. .10 Round trip charges between any of the three boroughs and Randall's Island, or charges for a continuous trip via Randall's Island between any two borrfughs, are the same as the one-way charge between the two boroughs without stop on Randall's Island. There are no commutation rates but tickets may he purchased In books of 20 in tho office of the auditor. This is merely a convenience to motorists and Is not at reduced rate.

Regular bus service Is also provided. The fare between Manhattan and the Bronx. Manhattan and Wards or Randall's Island and the Bronx and Ward's or Randall's Island hi five cents. Between Queens and Manhattan, the, Bronx or Ward's or Randall's Island, it 10 cents. There will be no charge for pedestrians.

An Amazing Time Suver Tho Tri.Borough Bridge Is an amazing time saver for motorists going from Queens Into tho Bronx and thence to Westchester Or Con. ncrtlcut and similarly for motorists from those polnta headed for Long Island. The Journey from Queens to Manhattan via the bridge will tako on an average of 15 mlnutea whereas tho old way of going via tho Queens Borough Bridge takes at least three-quarters of an hour. Most of the reduction In time has been brought about by the well-planned approaches which lead Into the main nrterlal highways of the three connected bar-oimhs.
