Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge, Steel suspension bridge between Manhattan and Brooklyn, United States.
The Brooklyn Bridge spans 1825 meters across the East River with two 84-meter-tall Gothic-style stone towers connected by steel cables.
John Augustus Roebling designed the structure in 1870, but after his death, his son Washington and daughter-in-law Emily Warren Roebling completed the project in 1883.
The bridge appears in numerous films and literature works, serving as a symbol of New York City's industrial progress and architectural achievement.
Visitors can access the bridge through the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall subway station or High Street station, with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists.
During construction, workers used sealed underwater chambers called caissons to build the foundation, leading to many cases of decompression sickness.
