Manhattan Bridge

The east tower is seen here from Main Street Park in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The bridge opened to traffic on the last day of 1909. Street cars began crossing in 1912 and subway trains in 1915.

Way back in the mid 1980s, when I was a student at Pratt Institute, some buddies and myself climbed to the top of this structure, 336 feet above the East River. We even climbed into one of those decorative bulbs at the very top. One can go here to see some rough images, taken with analog film and flash. The foolish things one does when one is young—unbelievable.

Quick taxi pic of the Manhattan Bridge in the fog on my way to today's shoot. Not as foggy as yesterday which was the foggiest I've seen it in my 20 years in NYC, but still a cool ride up the FDR this morning. . #manhattanbridge #fog #foggymorning #nyc #iphone https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLolihAir6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Williamsburg Bridge, 1903 The Williamsburg Bridge was the second bridge to span the East River following the Brooklyn Bridge almost two decades earlier and took half the time to build. By the time the bridge opened the independent city of Brooklyn had been consolidated into New York City. Compared to the neo-gothic towers of the #BrooklynBridge the public hated the steel towers of the Williamsburg Bridge when it opened. The 333-foot towers were originally designed to have a 140-foot tall spire atop each but were never constructed. The Bridge also featured a trolley terminal under #DelanceyStreet where streetcars going over the bridge would turn around. Streetcar service on the bridge was discontinued in 1948 and the terminal was shut down and lays abandoned to this day. The underground space was selected for the proposed #Lowline underground park, which features technology to reflect sunlight underground to grow plants. #williamsburg #brookyln #southwilliamsburg #nyc #dumbo #fortgreene #williamsburgbridge #manhattan #skyline #nychisory #nyhistory #urbanism #delanceystreet #brooklynbridge #manhattanbridge #nycphoto #eastriver #skyscraper #brooklynhistory #brooklynheights #nycurbanism (at Williamsburg Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxJYYguUL3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
