Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (MTA):
The Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge was opened by the Marine Parkway Authority in 1937 to provide access to the Rockaway Peninsula, which previously could be reached only by ferry or by a circuitous route around the eastern end of Jamaica Bay. When it was built, the bridge’s vertical lift span was the longest in the world. The tapering, curled tops of its towers added a whimsical aspect to the bridge’s design.

While location scouting recently in the Rockaways, I was quite taken by the silhouette of the Marine Parkway Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge against the sunset.
