The Triborough Bridge, also known as Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, connects the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. The bridge is a vital transportation link between these three boroughs and is often referred to as the Three Boroughs Bridge. Other synonyms for the Triborough Bridge include the RFK Bridge, the Tri-boro Bridge, and the Big Bridge - the last name is derived from the bridge's enormous size. It is also sometimes called the East River Bridge, as it spans across the East River. Despite its many names, the Triborough Bridge remains an iconic landmark in New York City and an essential part of the city's infrastructure.
