The Pulaski of Roslyn: The History of the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct and the Roslyn Bypass

May29

Author Mitchell Schwartz discuss his new book, The Pulaski of Roslyn: The History of the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct and the Roslyn Bypass. The Roslyn Bypass is one of the most significant components of Long Island's surface transportation network. Stretching from the Village of Flower Hill at its west end to the Village of Roslyn at its east end, this stretch of Northern Boulevard (Route 25A) has been compared over the years to New Jersey’s famed Pulaski Skyway.
