Why did Brooklyn Bridge become a national historic landmark in 1964?
Because Brooklyn Bridge is one of the architectural wonders and the longest suspension bridge in the world.
The most famous bridge attraction in new york is not the Brooklyn Bridge, but the night view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Brooklyn Bridge is regarded as the eighth wonder after the seven wonders of the ancient world, and is regarded as one of the seven epoch-making architectural engineering wonders in the world in the era of industrial revolution. Brooklyn Bridge is 1,834 meters long, and its main body is suspended 41 meters above the water surface by tens of thousands of steel cables. At that time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world and the first steel bridge in the world. Cable-stayed suspension bridge began in 1869, with a construction period of 14 years and was completed in 1883. This is a twin-tower cable-stayed bridge with masonry structure. At that time, there was no such bridge in the world, so it became the ancestor of cable-stayed suspension bridges in the modern world.
the total length of the bridge is 1,834 meters, and tens of thousands of thick 41-meter-long steel cables lift the bridge from the water. After its completion, it is regarded by the world as the eighth miracle after the seven wonders of ancient times and the miracle of human landmark buildings. Brooklyn Bridge (formerly known as new york and Brooklyn Bridge) was completed on May 24th, 1883. Its 1,825-meter (5,988-foot) bridge spans the east. The river connects Manhattan and Brooklyn in new york, USA. After completion, it is the longest suspension bridge in the world and the first suspension bridge using steel suspension cables. With the opening of Brooklyn Bridge, it has become an indispensable part of the new york City skyline, and became a national historical landmark in the United States in 1964.
At sunset, you can enjoy the view of Manhattan's tall buildings by walking along the wooden road in Brooklyn. High-rise buildings and beautiful street scenes can be said to be the highlights of new york tourism. More than 14, cars pass the Brooklyn Bridge every day, and there are thousands of cyclists and pedestrians. Every year on July 4th, Independence Day, fireworks will be displayed here, which is the biggest highlight of new york tourism.
