1 janv. 1867 - Brooklyn Bridge
Description:
Hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City that connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, spanning the East River. Prior to 1883 the only connection between these two large cities was a system of inefficient, overcrowded, unsafe, and unreliable ferries.The bridge changed the world’s attitude toward steel construction, revolutionized suspension bridge building, and transformed New York into the city it is today.
