The construction of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge | One of the most epic engineering feats in history
The Brooklyn Bridge is a famous landmark located in New York City, USA. It is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge that spans the East River and connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The bridge was completed in 1883 and was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time, with a total length of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 meters). Today, the Brooklyn Bridge is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of New York City.
This video digs into the history of the construction of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and how John Roebling designed a hybrid suspension system to build it.
