Camus's New York Diary (1946)
perhaps he took a ferry? and isn't there a bridge? things may get lost in translation.

There's no bridge to this day. There's the start of a tunnel on both ends, but not very far along. He likely took a ferry.

There's no bridge to the day from Manhattan* where Camus appeared to be spending time. There is indeed the Verazzano narrows bridge to south Brooklyn. But that would be a pretty far walk

It didn't open until after Camus had died.
