🌉🌉One of the OLDEST & MOST FAMOUS suspension bridges @ USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸designed by ENG'R JOHN AUGUSTUS ROEBLING👁️🌉🌉 Did you know The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, is one of the oldest and most famous suspension bridges in the United States, connecting the districts of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York. Designed by engineer John Augustus Roebling, its construction pioneered the use of steel cables and advanced techniques for the time. After Roebling's death, his son Washington Roebling took over the project's direction, although he also suffered health problems due to deep work, so his wife, Emily Roebling, played a crucial role in overseeing its completion. The bridge is approximately 1,834 meters long and was the first to use steel cables in its structure, becoming a symbol of engineering and innovation. Its design combines Gothic and neoclassical elements, with its features towers of limestone and granite. Today, the Brooklyn Bridge is both a transit route for pedestrians, cyclists, and automobiles, and an iconic NYC tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the city skyline and the East River.
