Things To Do
Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge was designed by German-born John Augustus Roebling. His design was approved in 1867 by New York legislatures, but he died just before construction on the bridge began in 1869. His son, Washington Roebling, took over the project and saw the design process to its completion. The bridge took 14 years to build, and dozens of workers (mostly poorly paid immigrants) lost their lives in the process. The Brooklyn Bridge was officially opened to the public on May 24, 1883. It was dubbed “the eighth wonder of the world;”.
