The Brooklyn Bridge crosses the East River, which is technically not a river, but an estuary, or tidal strait. Unlike a true river, it connects to the ocean on both sides. It flows south from the bay known as the Long Island Sound, down the east side of Manhattan and the west side of Queens and Brooklyn, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
