The Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn bridge built in 1883
The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City was the longest suspension bridge in 1883. It spans the East River and connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The tallest bridge in New York is the Williamsburg Bridge. It opened in December 1903 for public transportation. It cost about $12,000,000 to construct which was a very great amount at the time.
On May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City was officially opened to the public after 14 years of construction. The bridge, designed by John A. Roebling, was a significant engineering feat of its time, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn across the East River. Its opening was celebrated with a grand ceremony and a parade, marking a pivotal moment in transportation and urban development in the United States. The Brooklyn Bridge remains an iconic symbol of New York City today.
The Brooklyn Bridge spans the East River and was built to connect the City of New York with the City of Brooklyn. Since the bridge was opened, Brooklyn has become one of the five Boros of New York City.
No, they are not the same bridge. Three bridges connect Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is the furthest south, the Manhattan Bridge is in the middle, and the Williamsburg Bridge is the furthest north. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge," which is perhaps where some of the confusion comes from. But when the bridge opened in 1883, New York City consisted mostly of just Manhattan. It was not until 15 years later, in 1898, that the five boroughs -- Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island -- united to form modern-day New York City. Before then, Brooklyn was its own city (the other three consisted of small towns and farmland), so the bridge was called the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" because it united the city of New York and the city of Brooklyn. Of course, today Brooklyn is part of New York City, so calling it the "New York and Brooklyn Bridge" is redundant.
The Brooklyn Bridge was built by the Americans, not the Dutch, and was completed in 1883, more than 200 years after the Dutch city of New Amsterdam was captured by the British and renamed as New York.

The Tappan Zee Bridge connects the towns of Tarrytown in Westchester County and Nyack in Rockland County, New York. This bridge spans the Hudson River and serves as a vital transportation link between these two regions. It was replaced by the new Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, which opened in 2017.
