The Throgs Neck Bridge is one of the major transportation bridges in New York City, connecting the boroughs of Queens and the Bronx. The Throgs Neck Bridge is tolled for both the ways; toll cost for either side is the same. Both the directions accept only tag transponder or toll by mail; you cannot pay cash on Throgs Neck Bridge.

David Cooper: The best reason to go up the Empire State Building is when you go up on a clear night...and count the illuminated suspension bridges all the way to the far horizons.

Identified toxic materials such as asbestos, lead paint and PCBs in caulk materials. Advised as to how to safely deal with those materials during a deck rehabilitation project.

This 6-lane bridge uses EZ-Pass for tolls and handles 105,000 vehicles per day. 
Starting in 2005, heavy trucks (over 40 tons) "can cross the span only between 11:00 PM and 5:00 AM at a maximum speed of 30 MPH." This is because they were cracking steel floor beams. The deck had already been replaced in the 1980s because of cracked floor beams.
Between 2000 and 2004, a $23m projected repaired the deck. In 2002, a $10m project rewrapped the main cables and installed a protective islands.
