The 59th Street Bridge, officially known as the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, spans the East River in New York City, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens. Completed in 1909, it is known for its distinctive cantilever design, featuring two levels for vehicles and pedestrians. The bridge serves as a vital transportation link, facilitating the movement of traffic and commuters between the two boroughs. It gained cultural prominence through its mention in the Simon & Garfunkel song "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," symbolizing a connection between urban life and serenity.
