The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City, connecting the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. Opened in 1883, it was the first steel-wire suspension bridge ever built and was a massive feat of 19th-century engineering. Its distinctive neo-Gothic granite towers and intricate web of steel cables have made it an enduring landmark of the city skyline. Designed by John A. Roebling and completed by his son Washington and daughter-in-law Emily, the bridge has a storied history of perseverance. It features a wide elevated pedestrian promenade that allows walkers and cyclists to enjoy spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. The bridge remains a vital artery for the city and a beloved symbol of urban connectivity.
