EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Hell Gate Bridge in Queens during its construction in the mid-1910s. The bridge, spanning over the treacherous waters of Hell Gate which separates Astoria from Wards Island, is a testament to engineering excellence and innovation.
The image showcases the intricate process of building this marvel of modern infrastructure, with construction equipment and cranes strategically placed to assemble the massive steel arches that would eventually connect railroad tracks across the East River. The sheer scale and complexity of this project are truly awe-inspiring.
As one gazes upon this historical snapshot, it's hard not to appreciate the ingenuity and determination required to build such a formidable structure. From its inception in 1914 to completion in 1916, the Hell Gate Bridge has stood as a symbol of strength and resilience, serving as a vital link for railway transport in New York City.
