Third Avenue Bridge (New York City)
The Third Avenue Bridge carries southbound road traffic on Third Avenue over the Harlem River, connecting the borough (New York City), boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx in New York City.

The 2,223-foot (667.6 m) crossing was designed by city engineer Frederick W. Cappelen, who also created plans for other similar bridges in Minneapolis such as the Franklin Avenue Bridge.
