Bridges
Newtown Creek is crossed by the Pulaski Bridge (replacing the Vernon Ave Bridge in the 1950s), the J. J. Byrne Memorial Bridge also known as the Greenpoint Avenue Bridge, and the Kosciuszko Bridge, which carries the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Several bridges that cross its tributaries are named for the street that they carry, such as Grand Street Bridge and Metropolitan Avenue Bridge.

From these sweet-springing meads and bursting boughs of May,

Welcome the dawn.”
