The '''Algonquin Bridge''' is a major river crossing in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. It is based on the [[:wp:Manhattan Bridge|Manhattan Bridge]] suspension bridge in [[:wp:New York City|New York City]], with noticeable omissions of the arches between the two halves of each tower on the bridge. Its location more closely approximates the [[:wp:Queensboro Bridge|Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge]]. | |||

The Algonquin Bridge carries four lanes of heavy traffic on two sections of road, the northern-most road carrying traffic to Algonquin, the southern-most road carrying traffic from Algonquin. The Algonquin Bridge connects to Kunzite Street on the Algonquin side, and onto the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway on the Broker side of the river.

The Algonquin Bridge connects to Kunzite Street on the Algonquin side, and onto the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway on the Broker side of the river. Beneath these two roadways of traffic are four subway tracks, the [[Broker Line]] which connects to the [[Algonquin Outer Line]]. There are also three pedestrian walkways, two side walkways on the north and south edges of the bridge and a central walkway in the middle. | ||

* Easy place to get the "One Man Army" Achievement by hiding under the bridge. (works best before you unlock Algonquin) | |||
* Like in GTA San Andreas, cars will merge into different lanes with little or no warning, often throwing you off guard, and more interestingly, when a subway train passes underneath, cars driving on top will swerve violently onto the next lane, causing pile ups in some cases. | |||
* Prior to [[Blow Your Cover]], the bridge is closed to traffic, however the "coffee" cutscene shown when dating [[Michelle (GTA IV)|Michelle]] will always show traffic moving on the bridge, even before Algonquin is unlocked in the game. | |||
