Photograph of the Summit Street Bridge in Brooklyn, NYC. The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway bisects Hicks Street, separating the neighborhood of Columbia Street Waterfront District (where I'm standing) from Carroll Gardens (on the other side of the bridge). The Bridge is one of the five crossings to Columbia Street Waterfront District from Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill. The church in the background is Sacred Hearts & St. Stephens Roman Catholic Church.

I discussed one walk across the short bridge in an article with more photos, a map, and the history of the structure:

The Summit Street Bridge is a short pedestrian bridge in Brooklyn NY that connects one side of Hicks Street (in Carroll Gardens) to the other (in Columbia Street Waterfront District) over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. At the foot of the bridge on the Columbia Street Waterfront District-side, there is a planter box, pictured in this post, with the name of the bridge written on it. A charming sign if I've ever seen one.

I posted an article with numerous pictures from one of my walks across the Bridge (including this one) and with additional history about the Bridge and notes on the area:
