George Washington Bridge. Roosevelt Island Bridge. Here seen with a seal—. Vlad, A nice refresher! I guess we will just have to do it again! Like Like. I actually also found that, despite so many circumnavigations, I did not have any photos of some of the more boring bridges whereas I have hundreds of photos of the Brooklyn Bridge, for instance.
So a while back I made a point of taking at least one photo of each…. It has to open because it is only a few feet above the water, so almost nothing—except for kayaks, of course!
All of them, except the really high bridges, can open, and presumably some of them, especially those in the lower Harlem River, do so on occasion because, when there is construction, there are sometimes fairly large tugs and construction barges moored past them. But normally the largest boat that goes through the Harlem River is the Circle Line, and that can pass under all of the closed bridges except for the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge.
A gaggle of wake makers were circling at the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge when we rounded the bend by Columbia. Now I know it was the th Street Bridge that a welcoming committee of three sent us a message from. A New York greeting. Feel free! I hope it helps. Unfortunately many of the Harlem River bridges look kind of the same…. If you include all the tributary waterways of the harbor, NYC probably has at least 50 bridges, quite possibly many more. Again, it kind of depends on what you mean by a bridge….
That was my first thought. Thanks for that guys. Now we have good reference marks. No joke—this is New York, after all! We almost did that once…. There are so many urban paddling opportunities.
The fun thing about paddling in NYC is, you can have the urban paddling experience, encounters with big ships, nature, wildlife, surf, and the open ocean, all in the course of a single day trip I have a fraction of your viewers but I wanted to save it as special so I re-blogged you , great post , both of you! Thanks so much!! We really appreciate your enthusiasm, and reblogging!! Since I spend so much time there it was of great interest to me but especially the perspective as I am always in my car!
Congratulations to you both on such knowledge , determination and buoyancy!! Quite a few. GREAT post. When did you live here? The most recent bridge was opened in , and most or their predecessors have been in place since the early 20th century. High Bridge is a former aqueduct, and Wards Island Bridge is a pedestrian bridge. The rest are all road bridges, although in several cases they carry subway trains as well. That paddle in the snow was one of our best ever!
That is alot of bridges for one city. Just goes to show how big New York is. In the first one, the water looks pretty choppy. You are brave to take your camera out there! Hello there.
We spent the whole morning on the topic of Manhattan bridges. The half-bridge was really interesting! We saw it on streetwiew in Google, with joints and control. Suddenly we caught sight of the four chimneys from Rawenwood power plant, and we came to think of Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson who shouts, Geronimo. Great post, thanks. I have one of my own today well, not my own personal one, you understand!
And I only knew the 4 first of the list, of course…Thank you very much to bring us with you in your navigation ;-. This is awesome…. No, the Circle Line guide was entirely correct, as the Circle Line always passes through the western channel of the East River past Roosevelt Island, and so never goes under the Roosevelt Island Bridge….
Wow — thanks for the link with the bridge links triple entendre. Great map! I love the architecture of bridges with a special affinity for suspension birdges. Happy Monday Vladimir.

The contemporary and the historic are constantly combined in Bruges. Bonifaciusbrug Boniface Bridge. The very photogenic Boniface Bridge may be one of the youngest bridges in Bruges, but it sums up the city perfectly. Begijnhofbrug Beguinage Bridge.

Ezelbrug Donkey Bridge. This 17 th -century bridge is not in any way related to donkeys. Molenbrug Mill Bridge. In the weeks after the assassination the citizens of Bruges built a rampart around the city, which followed the path of the inner canals of the city: the Dijver, Groenerei, St. Annarei, Goudenhandrei, Augustijnenrei, Smedenrei, and Kapucijnenrei.
In a garden wall of the house in the Pieter Pourbusstraat is the only remnant of the first wall: a semicircular reinforcement tower, which is clearly visible from the Pottenmakersstraat.
