Past the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.


Now past the Williamsburg Bridge. The last two photos are left and right on the same gantry.


The last two photos are again left and right on the same gantry.


Photos proceed down Exit 8, which ends up underneath FDR Drive before heading straight into the opposite onramp/offramp pair. This time, the 2nd and 3rd photos are the left-right pair.


Looking north and south from under the structure in Stuyvesant Town on the NB-side mixed use path (between Exits 7-8).


An optometrist ought to check out whoever thought this assembly of signs looked appropriate.


That's better.


That there is the Queensboro Bridge.


Here's the north side of the bridge as seen from the former 60th St. NB onramp (last photo), closed and converted to pedestrian riverfront access with all vehicles shunted to the next ramp at 62nd St.


The first photo looks north from the tramway adjacent to the Queensboro. It connects Manhattan to Roosevelt Island as an alternative to the subway, and it's worth it for views like this and on the Queensboro Bridge page (see link at bottom). The second photo looks north at 81st St. as FDR enters a double deck within view of the Triboro and Hell Gate Bridges. You can see how FDR Drive was designed to weave around and under/through buildings.


FDR Drive SB flies over the NB entrance from 62nd St., seen from both sides.


This is the last of the long underpasses/cut-and-cover tunnels along FDR Drive, which then affords some views of the southern leg of the Triboro Bridge, Hell Gate Bridge (the red railroad arch behind the Triboro), and the pointy pedestrian-only Ward's Island Bridge. The third photo is courtesy Lou Corsaro. Click on the 4th photo for a closeup.


Approaching the end of FDR Drive, the exit numbers run straight into Harlem River Drive, since both Drives are really the same roadway.
