There’s a bridge named after Kosciuszko in NYC. It’s been replaced before, the last time in 1939, and yet another replacement is currently under construction:

The Kosciuszko Bridge /ˌkɒziˈɒskoʊ, ˌkɒʒiˈɒʃkoʊ/ refers to two bridges that span Newtown Creek between the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, connecting Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Maspeth, Queens. It is a part of Interstate 278, which is also locally known as the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway or BQE.

The original bridge is a truss bridge that opened in 1939, replacing the Penny Bridge that connected Meeker Avenue in Brooklyn to Review Avenue and Laurel Hill Boulevard in Queens, and is the only bridge over Newtown Creek that is not a drawbridge. It was named in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko, a Polish volunteer who was a General in the American Revolutionary War. Two of the bridge towers were surmounted with eagles, one with the Polish eagle and the other the American eagle.

In 2014, a contract was awarded and work begun to build a replacement bridge with more capacity. This new bridge has the same name as the original bridge. […]

The new one will be much more attractive than the existing one. Sorta reminds me of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, but not quite as elegant and considerably smaller.

There’s also another bridge named named after him upstate.
