The South Bronx Network

The South Bronx Network The South Bronx Network (TSBN) will reconnect your visions of a bygone era & view modern day changes We thank you for support and are humbled by your kindness.

We will explore The South Bronx during different eras, through photographs, drawings etc. We hope this collection will entertain others as much as it has us in creating it. We originally started this page to share our history and as a way for us to remember our earlier days of growing up in The South Bronx. We did it more for our love of where we grew up and because we have grown to love the historical value of where we came from. We’ve always been a fan of black and white photos and the medium itself. We never could have imagined so many people would also enjoy the photographs and like our page. We now have thousands of photos found throughout the internet and shared with us by our fans. We have, in a sense, become a living archive, filled with people sharing their unique knowledge, history and stories about their lives, along with the curious and those who want to learn more about our history during the years when The Bronx was burning and how we survived it all. This is exactly what we had envisioned becoming. Hopefully people can use it as a basis for knowledge, to learn from and enjoy the historical as well as artistic value of the collection. This is all we wished for. We do not own the photos we only share them. Please enjoy the page, thank you for your participation and continued support.

THE MAKING OF THE BRUCKNER EXPRESSWAY

The Bruckner Expressway is a freeway in the borough of the Bronx in New York City. It carries Interstate 278 and Interstate 95 from the Triborough Bridge to the south end of the New England Thruway at the Pelham Parkway interchange. The highway follows a mostly northeast–southwest alignment through the southern portion of the borough, loosely paralleling the course of the East River. It connects to several major freeways including the Bronx River Parkway, the Cross Bronx Expressway, Interstate 678, and the Hutchinson River Parkway.

The Bruckner Expressway was a project envisioned by Robert Moses, who steered the Bruckner through the Soundview section of the Bronx, further altering the neighborhood after the 15-year construction of the Cross Bronx Expressway, which was completed in 1963. The Bruckner Expressway itself was completed in 1973, making it one of the last roads of the New York City Expressway system to be built. It is named in honor of former Bronx Borough President and Congressman, Henry Bruckner (1871–1942), and was built on and over the roadway of Bruckner Boulevard (originally called Eastern Boulevard).

Unlike the Cross Bronx Expressway, which cut through the existing street grid, the Bruckner Expressway was built along the Bruckner Boulevard alignment (except at its western end, where the Bruckner Expressway and Major Deegan Expressway meet). Between Sheridan Boulevard and the eastern end of the Bruckner Expressway, the Bruckner Boulevard is the service road, except at the Bruckner Interchange, where Bruckner Boulevard passes underneath the flying junction.

West of Sheridan Boulevard, Bruckner Boulevard is underneath the expressway, and extends past the expressway's western terminus for about 0.5 miles (0.80 km), ending under the Third Avenue Bridge.

In 2019, the New York State Department of Transportation began a $1.1 billion project to rebuild parts of the Bruckner Expressway and improve traffic flow, which would reduce air and noise pollution.

The project would rebuild the interchanges with both Sheridan Boulevard and Hunts Point Avenue, add a third lane in both directions of the Bruckner, and rebuild four bridges.
