Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge marks 60 years of history with vintage photo collection

The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, now 60 years old, remains a key part of Staten Island's identity. Opened in 1964, it was the world's largest suspension bridge and has significantly influenced local development. In 2018, the bridge's name was corrected to include the second "z," restoring its historical accuracy. The bridge has been a focal point for various events, including protests and celebrations, and continues to be documented through vintage photographs. The Staten Island Advance has captured the bridge's history from its construction in the 1960s to its role in community events, showcasing its enduring significance in New York City.
