NYC - LES: Williamsburg Bridge The Williamsburg Bridge, a suspension bridge connecting Manhattan at Delancey St. with the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg across the East River, was opened on December 19, 1903 at a cost of $12,000. Construction on the bridge began in 1896, with Leffert L. Buck as chief engineer, Henry Hornbostel as architect and Holton D. Robinson as assistant engineer. At its completion, the Williamsburg Bridge was the largest suspension bridge on Earth, and remained so until the Bear Mountain Bridge was completed in 1924. Its design is unconventional for suspension bridges. Though the main span hangs from cables in the usual manner, the side spans leading to the approaches are cantilevered, drawing no support from the cables above. The entire bridge is 7308 feet (2227 m) long between cable anchor terminals, and the deck is 118 feet (36 m) wide. The main span is 1600 feet (488 m) long. The height at the center of the bridge is 135 feet (41 m) and each tower is 335 feet (102 m). The Williamsburg Bridge carries vehicle, rail and pedestrian traffic. It has 8 lanes of roadway, and 2 tracks which support the J, M, and Z trains of the New York City subway. In the early part of the 20th century, the bridge also carried trolleys and cable tracks. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
