Brooklyn Bridge Remarkable Piece Of Architecture In New York

The Brooklyn Bridge joins two great boroughs of New York City; Brooklyn and Manhattan. You can either drive, bike or walk across it to go from one city to another. This bridge is one of the most popular routes in the city both for people of the city and the tourists visiting the city. It’s a remarkable piece of architecture that was completed in 1883 and happens to be one of the oldest suspension bridges in America. The bridge spans the East River and was the longest suspension bridge when it was created. The bridge was designed by John Augustus Roebling and 130 years after the majestic bridge still stands in all its glory.

Walking across the Bridge is one of the most popular tourist activities for people visiting New York. If you are planning to take a stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge you need to decide which city to start from; Brooklyn or Manhattan. There’s a pedestrian walkway above the road for traffic which can be accessed from either city. If you are starting in Brooklyn then you can either access it from an underpass on Washington Street or from the road that begins at an intersection of Boerum Place and Tillary Street. If you are walking from Manhattan then you can easily access the Pedestrian Walkway from the City Hall in Manhattan, although this path is not as popular as going from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Once you have crossed the bridge it’s easy to get back to the place you started from by taking a cab or subway,
