Question: Which state contains a suspension bridge that connects Brooklyn to the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens?
Context: The Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, which stood from 1855 to 1897 across the Niagara River, was the world's first working railway suspension bridge.  It spanned 825 ft and stood 2.5 mi downstream of Niagara Falls, where it connected Niagara Falls, Ontario, to Niagara Falls, New York.  Trains used the upper of its two decks, pedestrians and carriages the lower.  The brainchild of Canadian politicians, the bridge was built by one American and one Canadian company.  It was most commonly called the Suspension Bridge; other names included Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge, Niagara Suspension Bridge, and its official American name, the International Suspension Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges in the United States.  Started in 1869 and completed fourteen (14) years later in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.  It has a main span of 1595.5 ft and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed.  It was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" and formally so named by the city government in 1915.  Since opening, it has become an icon of New York City and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972. A suspension bridge is any type of bridge that makes significant use of tension rather than or in addition to compression.  A suspension bridge usually has main cables (else ropes or chains), anchored at each end of the bridge.  Any load applied to the bridge is transformed into a tension in these main cables.  The earliest suspension bridges had the cables anchored in the ground at either end of the bridge, but some modern suspension bridges anchor the cables to the ends of the bridge itself.  The earliest suspension bridges had no towers or piers, but these are present in the majority of larger suspension bridges.  Although the earlier types of suspension bridges are suitable only for relatively short spans, all of the 14 longest bridges in the world are suspension bridges (see List of longest suspension bridge spans).  Ignoring the possibility of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, there were two independent inventions of the suspension bridge, in Eurasia (probably in China) and in Central and South America. Rockaway Beach is a neighborhood on the Rockaway Peninsula in the New York City borough of Queens.  It is located on the South Shore of Long Island.  The neighborhood is bounded by Arverne to the east and Rockaway Park to the west.  It is named for Rockaway Beach, which is the largest urban beach in the United States, stretching for miles along the Rockaway Peninsula facing the Atlantic Ocean; the beach itself is run and operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.  The neighborhood, with 13,000 residents as of 2010 , was once known as the "Irish Riviera" because of the large Irish American population in the area. The Rockaway Park Shuttle is a shuttle service of the New York City Subway operating in Queens.  It connects with the A train at Broad Channel station and is the latest iteration of the Rockaway Shuttle services that have been running in the Rockaway peninsula since 1956.  This shuttle train provides service to the western part of the peninsula, with a terminus at Rockaway Park–Beach 116th Street.  The fully aboveground route operates on trackage that was originally part of the Long Island Rail Road's Far Rockaway Branch until the mid-1950s. Flatbush Avenue is a major avenue in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn.  It runs from the Manhattan Bridge south-southeastward to Jamaica Bay, where it joins the Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens.  The north end was extended to the Manhattan Bridge as "Flatbush Avenue Extension." The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension.  The main span is 1470 ft long, with the suspension cables being 3224 ft long.  The bridge's total length is 6855 ft .  This is one of four toll-free bridges spanning the East River; the other three are the Queensboro, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Bridges. The Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (originally and often referred to as the Marine Parkway Bridge) is a vertical-lift bridge in New York City, New York, that crosses Rockaway Inlet and connects the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, with Flatbush Avenue to Floyd Bennett Field, Belt Parkway, and the Marine Park neighborhood in Brooklyn.  Opened on July 3, 1937, it carries four motor traffic lanes, and a footpath on the western edge.  The center span is raised and lowered 100 times a year to allow vessels to pass beneath the roadway; it is 540 ft long and is only 55 ft above the water but can be lifted to a height of 150 feet above the water.  Cyclepaths along both sides of the Parkway connect northward to Brooklyn.  The operation of this bridge includes the maintenance of the Marine Parkway from the toll plaza to Jacob Riis Park.  Though a city-owned and operated bridge, it connects two parts of Gateway National Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park System: Floyd Bennett Field and Jacob Riis Park.  The bridge is designated as New York State Route 901B, an unsigned reference route. The Union Bridge, also known as the Union Suspension Bridge or Union Chain Bridge, is a suspension bridge that spans the River Tweed between Horncliffe, Northumberland, England and Fishwick, Berwickshire, Scotland.  In so doing it also spans the border between England and Scotland.  When it opened in 1820 it was the longest wrought iron suspension bridge in the world with a span of 137 m , and the first vehicular bridge of its type in the United Kingdom.  Although work started on the Menai Suspension Bridge first, the Union Bridge was completed earlier.  Today it is the oldest suspension bridge still carrying road traffic and is a Category A listed building in Scotland and a Grade I listed building in England.  It lies on Sustrans Route 1 and the Pennine Cycleway. The Rockaway Peninsula, commonly referred to as The Rockaways or Rockaway, is the name of a peninsula on Long Island, New York.  The Rockaway Peninsula is located entirely within the New York City borough of Queens.  A popular summer resort area since the 1830s, Rockaway has become a mixture of lower, middle, and upper-class neighborhoods.  Its relative isolation from the urban areas of the city, especially Manhattan, has traditionally made it a popular summer retreat.  In the 2010s, it became one of the city's most quickly gentrifying areas.
