The Williamsburg Bridge is a bridge in the United States
New York
A suspension bridge across the East River in New York City, connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan with Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at Delancy Street in Manhattan (never implemented, and I-78 never actually became the Williamsburg Bridge number). Construction began in 1896 as the second bridge across the East River, with Leffert L. Buck as principal designer, Henry Hornboste as architect, and Holton D. Robinson as assistant engineer, and the bridge opened on December 19, 1903, at a cost of $12 million. The Williamsburg Bridge was the largest suspension bridge on Earth at the time, and remained so until the completion of the Mountain Bridge in 1924.
Williamsburg Bridge
The Williamsburg Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge are the two Bridges in New York City that still carry cars and railways. In addition to the BMT Nassau Street Line, which now connects to the New York Metro, and the BMT Jamaica Line, there used to be two streetcar tracks. With the opening of the bridge, ferries that used to be located on both sides of the river gradually disappeared. The Williamsburg Bridge has been undergoing continuous maintenance work since the 1980s, largely due to years of damage caused by decades of delayed repairs.
The railroad tracks located in the middle of the Williamsburg Bridge were originally built by
Brooklyn-manhattan Transit Corporation
([[Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit, Inc. |BMT]]]), but is used by the New York City Subway Line JMZ.
