The Kosciusko Bridge spans what waterway between Brooklyn and Queens?

East River
Gowanus Canal
Harlem River
Newtown Creek

The correct answer is: Newtown Creek

The Kosciusko Bridge spans Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and Queens. This waterway is an industrial waterway that separates the two boroughs, providing a vital transportation link for vehicles traveling between the two areas. The bridge is named after Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish military engineer who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Option A (East River) is incorrect because the East River is a separate waterway in New York City that flows between Manhattan and Brooklyn/Queens. Option B (Gowanus Canal) is incorrect because the Gowanus Canal is a different waterway located in Brooklyn, not between Brooklyn and Queens. Option C (Harlem River) is incorrect because the Harlem River separates Manhattan from the Bronx, not Brooklyn and Queens.
