The '''Algonquin Bridge''' is a major suspension bridge in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', its [[Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City|episodes]], and ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]'', connecting the boroughs of [[Algonquin]] and [[Broker]] in [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]].

The '''Algonquin Bridge''' is a major river bridge crossing in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is based on the [[Wikipedia:Manhattan Bridge|Manhattan Bridge]] suspension bridge in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York City]], with noticeable omissions of the arches between the two halves of each tower on the bridge.

The bridge appears as a suspension bridge with two main suspension towers spanning the [[Humboldt River]]. It passes over [[Colony Island]] situated in the middle of the river, but has no access to the island itself. The bridge itself holds four lanes of traffic; two in either direction, west bound traffic heading towards [[Lancet]], [[Algonquin]] and east bound traffic heading into [[Downtown (GTA IV)|Downtown]], [[Broker]]. Underneath each road deck are a pair of subway tracks heading in either direction; the [[Broker Line|3/8 Broker Line]] which connects to the [[Algonquin Outer Line|A/J Algonquin Outer Line]]. Between the rail decks is a footpath situated below the road deck level where pedestrians can walk across the bridge, as well as two smaller footpaths on either side of the bridge. On the [[Lancet]] end of the bridge, the bridge dips down, meeting with [[Kunzite Street]] and the [[Bismarck Avenue]] intersection, while the subway decks lower into the underground subway system. On the Broker end of the bridge, the bridge continues on as the [[Algonquin - Dukes Expressway]], with a pair of ramps lowering onto [[Montauk Avenue]] & [[Munsee Avenue]]. The two subway lines split in either direction and continue on as elevated train lines across Dukes and Broker.

Due to the raised terrain of parts of Broker, the bridge forms a large overpass over the neighborhood of [[BOABO]], "Beneath the Off-Ramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass". The bridge is anchored into place with a large stone pillar where three roads intersect underneath.

The Algonquin Bridge crosses the [[Humboldt River]] between [[Downtown Broker]] and [[Lancet]], [[Algonquin]]. It passes over [[Colony Island]] and the Algonquin end of the Bridge is directly next to the CC Building. The [[Sky Car|Colony Island tramway]] runs directly to the south of the bridge, terminating on Colony Island.

The Algonquin Bridge carries four lanes of heavy traffic on two sections of road, the northern-most road carrying traffic to Algonquin, the southern-most road carrying traffic from Algonquin. The Algonquin Bridge connects to Kunzite Street on the Algonquin side, and onto the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway on the Broker side of the river. Beneath these two roadways of traffic are four subway tracks, the [[3/8 Broker Line]] which connects to the [[A/J Algonquin Outer Line]]. There are also three pedestrian walkways, two side walkways on the north and south edges of the bridge and a central walkway in the middle.

The Algonquin Bridge is a major suspension bridge in Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, connecting the boroughs of Algonquin and Broker in Liberty City.

Description

Grand Theft Auto IV

The bridge appears as a suspension bridge with two main suspension towers spanning the Humboldt River. It passes over Colony Island situated in the middle of the river, but has no access to the island itself. The bridge itself holds four lanes of traffic; two in either direction, west bound traffic heading towards Lancet, Algonquin and east bound traffic heading into Downtown, Broker. Underneath each road deck are a pair of subway tracks heading in either direction; the 3/8 Broker Line which connects to the A/J Algonquin Outer Line. Between the rail decks is a footpath situated below the road deck level where pedestrians can walk across the bridge, as well as two smaller footpaths on either side of the bridge. On the Lancet end of the bridge, the bridge dips down, meeting with Kunzite Street and the Bismarck Avenue intersection, while the subway decks lower into the underground subway system. On the Broker end of the bridge, the bridge continues on as the Algonquin - Dukes Expressway, with a pair of ramps lowering onto Montauk Avenue & Munsee Avenue. The two subway lines split in either direction and continue on as elevated train lines across Dukes and Broker.

Due to the raised terrain of parts of Broker, the bridge forms a large overpass over the neighborhood of BOABO, "Beneath the Off-Ramp of the Algonquin Bridge Overpass". The bridge is anchored into place with a large stone pillar where three roads intersect underneath.

It is based on the Manhattan Bridge suspension bridge in New York City, with noticeable omissions of the arches between the two halves of each tower on the bridge. Its location more closely approximates the Queensboro (59th Street) Bridge but still contains geographical similarities to both the Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, both of which connect Brooklyn and Manhattan. The design of the Algonquin Bridge actually resembles that of the early proposal for the Manhattan Bridge by Henry F. Hornbostel in that they both are archless, as opposed to the arched ones in real life by Carrère and Hastings.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Overall, the bridge remains similar in design, but due to hardware limitations, the subway line and inner walkway were removed. The bridge also features four suspension towers as oppose to GTA IV, and its real life counterpart, which features two.
