Brooklyn is connected to Manhattan by three bridges, the
Brooklyn,
Manhattan, and
Williamsburg Bridge; a vehicular tunnel, the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel (also known as the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel); and several subway tunnels. The
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge links Brooklyn with the more suburban borough of
Staten Island. Though much of its border is on land, Brooklyn shares several water crossings with
Queens, including the
Pulaski Bridge, the
Greenpoint Avenue Bridge, the
Kosciuszko Bridge (part of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway), and the
Grand Street Bridge, all of which carry traffic over
Newtown Creek, and the
Marine Parkway Bridge connecting Brooklyn to the
Rockaway Peninsula.
