I'm assuming you're talking about the Brooklyn Bridge. There are three bridges that connect Brooklyn to Lower Manhattan. From south to north, they are: The Brooklyn Bridge, The Manhattan Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge.
You can remember them (and the order they are in from south to north) very easily, as when you put the first letter of each together, it becomes a popular kind of car, the BMW: Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamburg.
Anyway, to answer your question, the Brooklyn Bridge traverses the East River at City Hall on the Manhattan side, and the Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill neighborhoods on the Brooklyn side.
The Bridge cuts through the north end of Brooklyn Heights and the south end of Vinegar Hill. Since neighborhoods in New York City do not have precise boundaries, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly which neighborhood of the two the Bridge starts in.
