Perhaps the most famous of New York bridges, Brooklyn Bridge also is one of its best known icons. Walking across the bridge is a great way to enter Manhattan and gives fabulous views.
Brooklyn Bridge had a difficult beginning in the 1870s, as the original designer of the bridge died of an accident before construction started. Twenty people died during construction, but Brooklyn Bridge was officially opened in 1883, easily being the longest bridge of its kind in the world. Since no such bridge had ever been built, in 1884 a herd of 21 elephants were walked across the bridge to prove its strength. And indeed, despite increased traffic the bridge has proven to be well-designed. Brooklyn Bridge may well continue to remain a landmark of New York City for a long time to come.
