Description
The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, is one of the most iconic landmarks in New York City. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. The bridge was designed by engineer John A. Roebling, and it features a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension design, characterized by its impressive towers and intricate Gothic-style arches.
At its opening, the Brooklyn Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world, measuring about 1,834 meters in length. It remains a vital transportation link for both vehicles and pedestrians. A dedicated walkway allows pedestrians to enjoy magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline and the harbor while crossing.
The Brooklyn Bridge has been designated as a National Historic Landmark and continues to draw millions of visitors each year. It embodies both engineering innovation and cultural significance, symbolizing the growth and development of New York City over the past century.
