Description

Brooklyn Bridge,
My husband and I decided that on the way home from CT to MD, we were going to stop at
Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, New York to check out a part of NYC we have not yet seen. It was a beautiful warm Sunday afternoon. Wow, to see the Brooklyn Bridge other than driving over it in a car, was breathtaking. Nothing like seeing it in person. The architecture is amazing.

Built between 1869 and 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was created by John Augustus Roebling. Did you know that this bridge connects Manhattan and the borough Brooklyn? I learned that the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most famous bridges and landmarks in New York City and I see why. I look forward to returning and walking on the bridge.

I was saddened to hear that creator John Roebling never got to physically see the bridge complete. He died due to a serious foot injury. Apparently several men died during construction. The bridge construction began in 1869 and was completed 14 years later. What an accomplishment. A must see when visiting NYC. Emmy Vickers,
