[[File:Hell Gate and Triborough Bridges New York City Queens.jpg|thumb|upright=1|The [[Triborough Bridge]] connects Queens with [[Manhattan]] and [[The Bronx]].]]
Queens is connected to the Bronx by the [[Bronx–Whitestone Bridge]], the [[Throgs Neck Bridge]], the [[Triborough Bridge]] (also known as the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge), and the [[Hell Gate Bridge]]. Queens is connected to Manhattan Island by the Triborough Bridge, the [[Queensboro Bridge]], and the [[Queens–Midtown Tunnel]], as well as to [[Roosevelt Island]] by the [[Roosevelt Island Bridge]].

While most of the Queens/Brooklyn border is on land, the [[Kosciuszko Bridge]] crosses the [[Newtown Creek]] connecting [[Maspeth, Queens|Maspeth]] to [[Greenpoint, Brooklyn]]. The [[Pulaski Bridge]] connects [[McGuinness Boulevard]] in Greenpoint to 11th Street, Jackson Avenue, and Hunters Point Avenue in [[Long Island City]]. The J. J. Byrne Memorial Bridge (a.k.a. [[Greenpoint Avenue Bridge]]) connects the sections of [[Greenpoint Avenue]] in Greenpoint and Long Island City. A lesser bridge connects [[Grand Street and Grand Avenue|Grand Avenue in Queens to Grand Street in Brooklyn]].

The [[Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge]], built in 1939, traverses Jamaica Bay to connect the Rockaway Peninsula to [[Broad Channel, Queens|Broad Channel]] and the rest of Queens.<ref name="MTA-Cross-Bay-Veterans-Memorial-Bridge-info" /> Constructed in 1937, the [[Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge]] links [[Flatbush Avenue]], Brooklyn's longest thoroughfare, with [[Jacob Riis Park]] and the western end of the Peninsula.<ref name="MTA-Gil-Hodges-Bridge-info" /> Both crossings were built and continue to be operated by what is now known as [[MTA Bridges and Tunnels]]. The [[IND Rockaway Line]] parallels the Cross Bay, has a mid-bay station at [[Broad Channel (IND Rockaway Line)|Broad Channel]] which is just a short walk from the [[Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge]], now part of [[Gateway National Recreation Area]] and a major stop on the [[Atlantic Flyway]].
