Workers on the Manhattan and Queens sides meet and shake hands in the middle of the Triborough Bridge after a 27-ton cross-floor beam was riveted into place high over the waters of the East River, November 12, 1935.
A Times caption the next day said, "Two Boroughs Linked by Triborough Bridge: Putting the last girder in place over the East River yesterday to connect Manhattan and and Queens. When the bridge is completed these two boroughs will be linked with the Bronx."
With the steelwork done, the 1,380-foot suspension bridge just needed the concrete roadway. The completed structure, called a "Y-shaped sky highway" by The Times, was dedicated on July 11, 1936. It was renamed the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge in 2008.
