The Brooklyn Bridge is a historic suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. Spanning the East River, it has been a vital transportation link since it opened in 1883. At the time of its completion, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world and an engineering marvel. The bridge quickly became an iconic symbol of New York and a popular pedestrian route for both locals and tourists. Its neo-Gothic towers and steel cables give it a distinct and timeless appearance. The bridge begins in Manhattan near City Hall and ends in Brooklyn near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
