Info

The Grand Street Bridge is a swing bridge between the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. The bridge crosses Newtown Creek, and opened in December 1902.
Construction on the bridge began in August 1900. The new bridge was planned to open in October 1901, but wasn't completed until December 1902. A later report on the delay found that the contractor hired to build the bridge was incompetent, and the bridge was completed by the City.
The current bridge is the third on the site. The first two, both made of wood, were built in 1875 and 1890.
