There are eleven road crossings out of Long Island, all but one providing Brooklyn-Manhattan, Queens-Manhattan, and Queens-Bronx connections across the East River, with the
Triborough Bridge providing two connections from Queens, one each to Manhattan and the Bronx. The single non-East River crossing is the
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, connecting Brooklyn to
Staten Island across
The Narrows. Plans for a
Long Island Sound link at locations in Nassau and Suffolk counties (a proposed bridge or tunnel that would link Long Island to the south with
Westchester County, New York or Connecticut to the north across Long Island Sound) have been discussed for decades, but there are no plans to construct such a crossing.
