So, did you go to the beach, lol? My parents watched the Fire Island Inlet Bridge being built back in the 60's, and they remembered when there was just the older, two lane bridge across Great South Bay. Nice to watch on a January day while I'm longing for summer.

@lb10003 I've been to RM St. Park many times (both the beach and the golf course as well). the way the weather has been lately, maybe i should head back there for a couple days!

Yeah and if im not mistaken these bridges were part of the Robert Mosses project in NYS in the early to mid 1900s as well with some other NY's Expys.

@lexx41 That's right. This was part of the much larger Long Island Park System that was drawn up by RM at the same time as the NYC highway and parkway network. It's amazing to consider the huge scale of these plans collectively and the impact that they have had in the years since they were built...

Did 130mph a passenger on Kawasaki bike over this road back in 1976

@lexx41 That's an interesting and great point that I never though about myself; I spend a lot of time in the Buffalo area so I'm very familiar with the Grand Island Bridges...

It kinda reminds me of a larger version of the Grand Island Bridges in Buffalo.
