The Brooklyn Bridge is a
hybrid cable-stayed/suspension
bridge in New York City,
spanning the East
River between the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Opened
on May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was the first fixed crossing
of the East River. It was also the longest
suspension bridge in the world at the time of its opening,
with a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) and a deck
127 ft (38.7 m) above mean high
water. The span was originally called the New York
and Brooklyn Bridge or the East River
Bridge but was officially renamed the Brooklyn Bridge
in 1915.
