 Connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn, the Manhattan Bridge is an iconic NYC structure with fascinating facts:

  1. Modern Bridge Pioneer 
    Opened in 1909, its suspension design by Leon Moisseiff influenced future marvels like the Golden Gate Bridge!

  2. Exclusively Designed for Trains 
    Unlike other NYC bridges, the Manhattan Bridge was specifically designed to accommodate heavy rail traffic, with four subway tracks on the lower level still carrying millions of passengers daily.

  3. Movie Star Bridge 
    From the 1973 classic Mean Streets to countless films, the bridge’s urban charm is a Hollywood favorite.

  4. Built by Thousands 
    Over 12,000 workers were employed to construct the bridge, which took nearly a decade to complete.

  5. Over a Mile Long 
    Stretching 6,855 feet (over 1.3 miles), it connects Chinatown in Manhattan with DUMBO in Brooklyn, offering stunning contrasts along the way.

  6. Sways with Style 
    The bridge sways slightly in wind or under train weight, a design feature ensuring structural safety.
