The Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John A. Roebling, a German-born engineer, who conceptualized the project and oversaw its initial stages. After Roebling's death, his son Washington Roebling took over the project, dealing with numerous challenges during construction. Emily Warren Roebling, Washington's wife, played a crucial role in supporting him and communicating with the project team, effectively managing operations when he fell ill. The bridge was completed in 1883 and remains a significant engineering feat and iconic landmark.
