John Roebling designed the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John A. Roebling and his family, particularly his son Washington Roebling, who took over the project after his father's death. John Roebling was the original engineer and visionary behind the bridge's design, which combined elements of suspension and cable-stayed construction. Washington Roebling played a crucial role in its completion, overcoming numerous challenges during the construction process. The bridge, completed in 1883, stands as a testament to their engineering expertise and dedication.
Washington Roebling was the man to finish Brooklyn bridge. The bridge was initially designed by German immigrant John Augustus Roebling. While conducting surveys for the bridge project, Roebling sustained a crush injury to his foot when a ferry pinned it against a piling. Due to this injury, he developed tetanus infection resulting to his death. Before death, he had placed his 32-year-old son Washington Roebling in charge of the project.
