Comments this is already up to scratch as far as I'm concerned but here are some minor notes: That's about it for me on a first pass, so I'll put the article on hold pending resolution of the above. Cheers. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 09:40, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * "Bronx-Whitestone" (etc). Should use an en-dash, like the articles themselves.
 * I'm not convinced we need to link Bicycle (or even pedestrian) as those (to me) are very common English terms which I feel the average reader wouldn't need a link to help explain.
 * " (76 by 107 m).[13][13] " so good you ref'd it twice?!
 * " $600 million plan" in 1955? Wow, can we inflate that to 2018 figures for context as to just how much that represents?
 * "[31][33][3]:127" Ref in numerical order, i.e. [3]:127[31][33]
 * [8][3]:128 same.
 * "of $92 million.[55][1]" And reading that sentence I had a double-take that the opening ceremony cost 92 million, possibly rephrase?
 * " lieutenant Governor" if you cap G, why wouldn't you cap L?
 * "opening of a World's Fair attraction" in 1961 when the World's Fair didn't open until 1964?  Perhaps, just checking... You could link the 1964 New York World's Fair if it really is the case.
 * "a bike path " you referred to this as a bicycle earlier, would be consistent.
 * "40 tons," I think I'm right in saying you've converted all previous measurements.
 * You mention a 2017 introduction of electronic toll collection  early on in the prose, and yet in the Tolls section, you refer to it as Open road tolling.  I know one facilitates the other, but perhaps you could describe it consistently for those who aren't aware of the technicalities here?
 * Toll table: refs column shouldn't be sortable.
 * Toll table: ranges for prices should use unspaced en-dash, not spaced.
 * Toll table: use consistent number of decimal places (I'd go for 2).
 * Toll table: there are a couple of ranges which aren't ranges, e.g. $5.59 – 5.59, no need for the range.
 * Toll table: I love the use of a caption for ACCESS but it would even better if you added row and col scopes per MOS:ACCESS.
 * "[104][77]" order.
 * "A bomb threat to the Throgs Neck Bridge was called on November 23, 1987. The bomb threat was" merge so you avoid repeating "bomb threat" so quickly.
 * Not clear why the nice panorama image is in the "Incidents" section?
 * Some spaced hyphens in reference titles, should be spaced en-dashes per MOS.
 * Avoid SHOUTING in ref titles (e.g. most of the NYT refs!)
 * Thanks for the review. I've addressed all of these, except for the consistent number of decimal places. I'm still looking for a template that will implement this. epicgenius (talk) 17:48, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like you nailed that. Very nice work, somewhat surprising it's been lurking at GAN since last November.....  I'll pass in due course once I give it a final lookover. The Rambling Man (REJOICE!) 17:55, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
