Completed in 1903, the Williamsburg Bridge once held the title of the world’s longest suspension bridge. Spanning the East River, it connects Manhattan’s Lower East Side with Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. This major thoroughfare accommodates a variety of transportation modes, including cars, trains, bikes, and pedestrians. The bridge is easily recognizable by its distinctive pink-painted raised walkway and cycleway, which offer panoramic views of the city skyline. Visitors can enjoy a unique perspective of New York City while traversing this historic structure.
