More info: Brooklyn Bridge took 14 years to construct and cost $15 million (more than $320 million in today’s dollars) At least two dozen people died in the process, including its original designer - John Augustus Roebling.
With its unprecedented length and two stately towers, the Brooklyn Bridge was dubbed the “eighth wonder of the world.” It was the first bridge constructed using steel wire, which was spun on sight. For several years after its construction, it remained the tallest structure in the Western hemisphere.
Now more than 125 years old, this iconic feature of the New York City skyline still carries roughly 150,000 vehicles and pedestrians every day.
