The Bridge


The Times gives some love to the Borden Avenue Bridge, which is quietly undergoing a $17 million rehabilitation.

Their affection for the neighborhood is less evident:
[U]nlike its more heralded peers of similar endurance, this bridge tends not to attract tourists. It is in the industrial neighborhood of Sunnyside, Queens, under an elevated section of the Long Island Expressway, and the antifreeze-colored water that creeps slowly below it often emits a stink. An almost-windowless strip club sits nearby.
