Posted by Express Rider on Tue Sep 27 06:46:04 2016, in response to Where Sands Street station was is now Cadman Plaza Park, posted by Dave on Wed Sep 21 21:33:40 2016. The road in the foreground, of the photo is the ramp section of the Brooklyn Bridge approach road. It was built during the 1950s as part of the urban renewal plan for the area.*Per Google Maps, Boerum Place becomes Brooklyn Bridge Boulevard, at the intersection with Joralemen and Fulton streets. BB Blvd. continues north and becomes the approach road to the Brooklyn Bridge at its intersection with Tillery Street. I have found one 1944 photo of the Gowanus Expy. Beneath the road are what appears to be the 5th ave el pillars supporting it.

I have no more specific info. on this. |
