What a fun way to see Manhattan. Walk across New york`s most famous bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge is 6016 feet long, spanning the East river and allowing transportation from Manhattan Island to the Western Shore of Brooklyn. Construction began on January 3, 1870, and the bridge was open to traffic on May 24, 1883.

The Brooklyn Bridge’s 1,595-foot main span was at one time the longest in the world until the completion of the Forth Bridge in Scotland in 1890. Its deck, supported by four cables, carries both automobile and pedestrian traffic. A distinctive feature is the broad promenade above the roadway, which the designer John Roebling predicted “in a crowded commercial city will be of incalculable value.”
