- F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about it. Simon and Garfunkel sang about it. Now the Queensboro Bridge is turning 100.

Monday is the 100th anniversary of first day that cars crossed the 3,724-foot bridge between Queens and Manhattan.

Fitzgerald praised the view from the bridge in ``The Great Gatsby,'' and Paul Simon wrote about it in ``The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy).''

The steel and stone bridge was designed by architect Henry Hornbostel.
