South Grand Island Bridge Before Sunrise

Cool and calm, before the day starts, with the bridge traffic barely detectable in the distance. Early mornings are magical, so different from the hustle and bustle of every-day life.

The bridge consists of two truss arch bridges. It is operated by the New York State Thruway Authority. The bridge has a 93-foot clearance. While the twin bridges were targeted to be identical there are some differences between the one built in 1930s and the other from 1960s, like stone vs. steel faced cutwaters, different guard rails, and more.
