The bridge that I have chosen is the Brooklyn bridge John A. and Washington Roebling are the architects of this bridge that are also inventors of the wire cable. This bridge was completed in 1883. This bridge can be located East River. Park Row, Manhattan to Adams Street, Brooklyn. The Brooklyn bridge is an suspension bridge. The length of this bridge is 6016 feet and (1834 meters). The height of this bridge is 272 feet and (83 meters).



There were many historical events that has happened under and on the Brooklyn bridge. The revolutionary war took place under the Brooklyn bridge. Also the first ferry between Brooklyn and Manhattan took place here. Lastly in 1636 it was the first settlement in Brooklyn here also.
