Lily Pond Avenue is a relatively short but primary artery in the Rosebank, Shore Acres, Arrochar, and South Beach neighborhoods in the New York City borough of Staten Island. ==Nature of route== Lily Pond Avenue is the middle leg of Staten Island's coastal eastern corridor, possessing the same route as School Road and Father Capodanno Boulevard. Important intersections include Tompkins Avenue, Narrows Road, Major Avenue, and McClean Avenue. Lily Pond Avenue passes underneath the Staten Island Expressway at the foot of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Landmarks include the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Memorial.〔''New York, Washington.

The project was started in 2006, but had taken longer than originally planned. States Senator Diane Savino and Member of the Assembly Michael Cusick criticized the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the construction delays. The project is now expected to be completed in 2014. There were concerns as early as 1994 about the huge mass of concrete used in the Lily Pond Bridge, which is one of three bridges or passes on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.〔Philip Dale Cady, ''Concrete bridges in aggressive environments: Philip D.
