Does anyone know when the 241st Street bridge over the New York Central was built? It was built by the New York Central System.

Instead, New York Central, the New Haven, New York State and New York City each paid 25% of the estimated $800.000 cost.I won't swear to this but I think the viaduct that opened in 1930 is the 238th St (also called Nereid Ave.) viaduct. That's the very tall concrete arch structure south of the 241st St one. I believe the 241st St. viaduct is older than that
