Opened
on May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is widely considered the greatest
engineering achievement of the 19th century. This vision of designer
John Augustus Roebling would be the longest bridge ever built at the
time. During the 30-year construction period, the project withstood city
politics, numerous construction conundrums and accidents, and the death
of Roebling. Standing as a prime example of American technological and
architectural progress, this iconic suspension bridge remains one of the
world's most recognized structures. Built to link Manhattan and
Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Bridge remains the most popular bridge in New
York, open to pedestrians and motorists alike. Today, more than 160,000
people cross the bridge every day.
