Hell Gate Bridge
This was the inspiration behind the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge. One of New York’s many bridges, the Hell Gate connects Queens and Manhattan across the Hell Gate strait of the East River, carrying railway tracks.
While it was constructed in the early 1900s, only in the 1990s, for the first time after almost a century, the bridge was repainted. The job didn’t go as planned, though, and the color faded during the painting, leaving the bridge with its current washed-out look.
