The Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge in New York City (originally Marine Parkway Bridge) is a toll bridge that crosses Rockaway Inlet and connects Rockaway Peninsula, in Queens, with Brooklyn. Opened in 1937, it carries four traffic lanes. The operation of this bridge includes the maintenance of the Marine Parkway from the toll plaza to Jacob Riis Park.
As of March 13, 2005, the crossing charge for a two-axle passenger vehicle is $2.25, with a $.75 discount for E-ZPass users. Certain resident discounts apply to this bridge.
The bridge is owned by the City of New York and operated by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, an affiliate agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York).
