Verrazano

Between Brooklyn and Manhattan, miles across the water, we saw the final curtain of New York City—the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

DEC’s Hudson River Estuary Program focuses on the tidal Hudson River and its adjacent watershed from the federal dam at Troy to the Verrazano Narrows in New York City.

A state trooper driving on the Verrazano Bridge helped save a 79-year-old suicidal man from taking a death leap Sunday afternoon — a dramatic event captured on video.

If constructed, the memorial would have stood at what is now Fort Wadsworth National Park near the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

Authorities say the suspect made a U-turn and drove eastbound in the westbound lanes on the upper level of the Verrazano Bridge.
