Manhattan Bridge, Suspension bridge between Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, United States
The Manhattan Bridge spans 2,090 meters across the East River with steel towers reaching 102 meters in height and a main span of 451 meters.
Built between 1901 and 1910, this engineering project designed by architects Carrère and Hastings established a new transportation link between Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs.
The bridge structure incorporates decorative stonework and architectural elements that represent the early 20th-century Beaux-Arts design principles in American infrastructure.
The double-deck configuration carries four vehicle lanes on the upper level while the lower level accommodates three traffic lanes and four subway tracks.
The bridge allows 450,000 people to cross daily through various transportation modes, with 75 percent of users traveling by public transit on the integrated subway lines.
