The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States of America, extending over the East River with a length of 5989 feet (1825 meters) to connect the Manhattan and Brooklyn regions to New York City. It is worth noting that the Brooklyn Bridge connects the Brooklyn and Manhattan provinces that comprise them from the provinces of Queens, Bronx and Staten Island The five counties of New York City. It extends across the East River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It reached 1825 meters in length and upon completion of construction it was the largest suspension bridge in the world and the first bridge in the world to use steel ropes. In the year 1964 he was included in the list of American "national historical monuments". Currently, the bridge, which was designed by German engineer John August Rubling, is used exclusively by passenger cars and pedestrians, after carrying trains until 1944 and trams until 1950. Ironically, Rubling was involved in an accident in his foot when he conducted the necessary survey of the bridge site in 1869, which required He cut off his leg, but he died 24 days after the accident, with tetanus, and consequently, he could not enjoy seeing the great achievement he had officially inaugurated on May 24, 1883.
