How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

East Borough Bridge is a large multi-span bridge joining Algonquin, Dukes and Bohan by way of Charge Island.

The real place

The Triborough Bridge, renamed the RFK Bridge in 2008, opened in 1936 and links Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx through Randalls and Wards Islands. The game copies the idea of three boroughs meeting at a hub island.

Visiting

There are pedestrian paths on parts of the bridge, but a simpler option is the footbridge from East Harlem at East 103rd Street onto Randalls and Wards Islands, which has good views of the bridge.
