The Brooklyn Bridge spans the East River between Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. Designed by John A. Roebling and completed under his son Washington Roebling, it opened on May 24, 1883, as the first fixed crossing of the East River. When it opened, its main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m) was the longest of any suspension bridge in the world. Its stone towers and steel cables reflect the Gothic Revival style.
