...that the Brookly Bridge was the largest supsension bridge
in the world on it's completion?
The B.B. stretches 1825m over the East River,
connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn.
It cost $15.1 million to build and 27 people died building it. The characteristic pointed arches are typical for the Gothic style. There was a rumor that the bridge would collapse on May 30, 1883, three weeks after it's opening. In 2006 a cache was discovered, which was suspected to be a remnant from the Cold War.
