Editing Staten Island (section)

===Bridges===
Staten Island is connected to New Jersey via three vehicular bridges and one railroad bridge. The [[Outerbridge Crossing]] to [[Perth Amboy, New Jersey]], is at the southern end of [[New York State Route 440]], and the [[Bayonne Bridge]] to [[Bayonne, New Jersey]] is at the northern end of NY&nbsp;440; both ends of NY&nbsp;440 continue into New Jersey as [[New Jersey Route 440|Route 440]]. The [[Goethals Bridge]], carrying [[Interstate 278]], connects [[Elizabeth, New Jersey]] with the [[Interstate 278|Staten Island Expressway]]. Just north of the Goethals, the [[Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge]] carries freight between the northwest part of the island and Elizabeth, New Jersey. The Staten Island Expressway is connected to [[Brooklyn]] via the [[Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge]], which carries I-278. Pedestrian links to Staten Island are available via a footpath on the Bayonne and Goethals Bridges.

From 1964 to 1977, Staten Island contained the longest [[Vertical-lift bridge|vertical lift]], [[Through arch bridge|steel arch]], and [[suspension bridge]]s in the world: the Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Bridge, Bayonne Bridge, and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, respectively. The Arthur Kill Bridge still holds the title for longest vertical lift bridge, while the Bayonne and Verrazzano bridges are now the 5th- and 14th-longest in their respective categories.
