Pelham Bridge is a bascule bridge located in the New York City borough of the Bronx. It carries Shore Road and a walkway along the downstream side, over the Hutchinson River. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation. Crossing the mouth of the river, it is variously called Pelham Bay Bridge and Pelham Bridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Movable Bridges in the Bronx )〕〔 Pelham Bridge opens frequently; in 2008, it opened a total of 1,446 times. The watercraft traffic under that bridge is greater than for any other drawbridge in the city. ==History== The first bridge at the site, a stone bridge built in 1815, was destroyed in a storm on April 12, 1816. Another bridge wouldn't be built at the site for eighteen years. The current bridge replaced an older one that required constant, expensive maintenance. The new bridge was opened to traffic on October 15, 1908 before it was fully completed, in order to save costs on maintaining the old bridge. During construction, the water main for City Island and Pelham Bay Park had to be interrupted, so water was imported from New Rochelle, costing the city $5,323.93. The bridge was completed on February 17, 1909.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pelham Bay Bridge )〕 at a total cost of $605,274.06. The bridge was reconstructed in 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pelham Parkway )〕 A celebration of the bridge's centennial took place on October 28, 2008.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Events )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pelham Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
