This is a schematic of the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge. Opened in 1909, this cantilever truss bridge connects Manhattan and Queens, spanning the East River and Roosevelt Island. The schematic specifically includes only the truss bridge section, excluding the river, island, land, and ramps. This allows for seamless integration into your existing worlds.

The bridge is constructed using White, Grey, and Black Terracotta, along with Brick and Quartz blocks. This 5-block span version maintains the iconic look and style of the New York landmark.

This build is a fantastic addition to any bridge-themed world and was a joy to create.
