TODAY IN DESIGN 1870

Bridging the Future: The Start of Brooklyn Bridge Construction.

In 1870, a project commenced that would become a symbol of ingenuity and resolve: the construction of New York's Brooklyn Bridge. This monumental task not only represented a significant engineering challenge but also a bold vision in urban design and connectivity.

The Brooklyn Bridge, with its majestic stone towers and sweeping cables, was designed to span the East River and connect Manhattan to Brooklyn. Its construction involved groundbreaking techniques in suspension bridge design, including the use of extensive caisson foundations and the introduction of steel-wire cables.
