Before and after the 1900’s New York City was considered the “center of everything” finance, population, construction and good manufacturing . Among many other things, all had been formed in New York City.
The Brooklyn Bridge was part of that New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York most famous landmarks. This bridge took a lot of hard work and effort from many different people. John Roebling went to great lengths to build this bridge. From 1870 to 1883, the bridge was a pioneering example of steel-wire support cables which gave the illusion of a spider web. The elegant high arches of the stone towers, the graceful swoop of the main cables, and the pattern created by the suspender cables and diagonal stays made the bridge very lovely. Roebling wanted to accommodate to all when building this bridge. He made it so that people can walk, ride their bikes, and at the time horse and buggies can cross the bridge as well.
The Brooklyn Bridge contributes a lot to the economics of the country, and also created a system of transportation between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Located between the boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan, the bridge was completed on May 24, 1883, 2:00 PM. On the time of completion the bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world.
