The
Hell Gate Bridge is a railroad bridge in
New York City , United States. The bridge carries two tracks of
Amtrak 's
Northeast Corridor and one freight track between
Astoria, Queens , and
Port Morris, Bronx , via
Randalls and Wards Islands . Its main span is a 1,017-foot (310 m) steel
through arch across
Hell Gate , a
strait of the
East River that separates Wards Island from
Queens . The
New York Connecting Railroad began construction of the bridge in 1912, and it opened in 1917. The main span, a
two-hinged arch flanked by stone towers on either bank of Hell Gate, was the world's
longest steel arch bridge until the
Bayonne Bridge opened in 1931. It is one of the few rail connections from
Long Island , of which Queens is part, to the rest of the United States. This panoramic photograph shows the main span of the Hell Gate Bridge. The photograph was taken in 2023 looking northeast from the neighboring
Robert F. Kennedy Bridge , with Wards Island on the left of the image and Astoria on the right. A tugboat tows a barge in the foreground towards the Hell Gate Bridge.
