The Broker Bridge


The Broker Bridge is a bridge connecting the boroughs of Algonquin and Broker in Liberty City, passing over the Humboldt River. It is based on New York City's Brooklyn Bridge.


Location

The Broker Bridge begins from the Broker-Dukes Expressway, near Masterson Street in the Hove Beach neighborhood in Broker and leads onto Diamond Street in the Chinatown neighborhood in Algonquin. It is the southernmost crossing of the Humboldt River, south of the Algonquin Bridge.

Accessibility

The Broker Bridge carries vehicles and pedestrians only. Vehicles access the bridge via the on-ramps on Masterson street or directly from the expressway, while pedestrians must climb up many flights of stairs on the massive stone foundations, accessible from Mohawk Avenue in Hove Beach at the Broker end, and just north of Pier 45 in Fishmarket South. Vehicles occupy two dual-lanes of traffic, while pedestrians use an elevated walkway in the middle.
