Sunnyside Arch

The Sunnyside Arch is an illuminated steel arch spanning 46th Street just south of Queens Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Queens, New York City, United States. Erected in 1983 to help revitalize the 46th Street commercial corridor, the roughly two-story structure carries the neighborhood's name in lights and is one of Sunnyside's best-known landmarks. Built by a local civic group that later disbanded, the arch fell into disrepair within a few years of its construction. Publicly funded repairs secured over the following decades returned it to use, including a $500,000 refurbishment completed in 2009 and a conversion to programmable LED lighting in 2018, though the new lights failed within months. It has been described as a symbol of Sunnyside and a "gateway to Queens".
