While this is a genius find, it's unlikely that the movie was named like that.

5/5 for effort

didnt Abrams (or Reeves?) say in an interview that the name "Cloverfield" was a mistake and just the codename originally. and it didn't mean anything.

I'm almost positive it's just because of the name of the street in Los Angeles and NOTHING ELSE. right?? this was cleared up a long time ago...

Props for the effort, but as stated above, the bridge is called "Grayshot Arch" and located near West 61st in Centeral Park.

See this link for pics and vid that was caught back in August of final scene filming by Unfiction poster "nooneimportant77".

It does not appear the bridge being filmed is the same as the two pictures posted by OP.

I don't know anything about Centeral Park, but there has to be a lot of these types of overpasses and bridges.

Hey all,

The bridge was, indeed, called greyshot bridge. If you look it up, it's really close to Columbus Circle, where beth's appartment building is... ummm was...

Great research, though.

There is a plethora of interviews with Goddard, Reeves, and Abrams about this.
Anyway the original title was supposed to be "Monstrous" until the poster was leaked right before Comic-Con last July. Abrams was supposed to make this announcement but it was leaked first so he casually joked
"Do you think we'd call it Monstrous? No" I thought he was being sarcastic about the whole thing.
Anyway, there are no clues in the title Cloverfield. Its just the Case desgnated name.
Also this is defintely

here is the bridge rob and beth hid under:

If you watch Nooneimportant's set videos he is filming from the other side of those pics.

Speaking of the Arch they hid under. Isn't the new Cloverfield Game called Greyshot? coincidence?

I won't debate you on that, but there has been many threads about speculation of the title. That is why I trouted.
Your theory is interesting and valid so no harm no foul.
