This bridge is now generally known as the Broad St Bridge. It was originally constructed to carry the Erie Canal over the Genesee River. When the canal was rerouted away from this spot in the early 1900's a second, stone arch roadway bridge was constructed on top of the canal bridge. The abandoned canalway then became a subway tunnel.
The subway is now gone - today only the upper roadway deck remains in service.
