Selain gedung dan patung Liberty, kami juga bisa melihat jembatan besar yang menggantung di atas sungai atau danau atau laut yang kami lalui dengan kapal. Tepatnya, kapal yang kami naiki menyusuri East River. Beneran nih, namanya sungai atau kali? Iya bener ... Memang kapal kami berlayar di kali ... Jadi teringat waktu kami ke M
ichigan ... Waktu itu, kami sempat berkunjung ke danau. Danau Michigan namanya. Sekalipun disebut danau, luasnya gak kalah dengan laut yang selama ini sering kulihat hehehe ... Makanya ... Saat kami tahu nama sungai yang kami lewati ini adalah East, kami jadi tahu bahwa memang demikianlah keadaannya hehehe ... Di atas sungai East ini terbentang beberapa jembatan yang bisa saja dijadikan ikon NYC. Jembatan ini juga punya nama, seperti jembatan pada umumnya. Apa sajakah nama jembatan tersebut? Dari lokasi kami naik perahu, 3 jembatan yang kami lihat secara dekat adalah jembatan Brooklyn, jembatan Manhattan dan jembatan Williamsburg. Mau tahu sejarah m
asing-masing jembatan? Nih cerita yang diambil mama dari Wikipedia: The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge in New York City across the East River connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan at Delancey Street with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn at Broadway near the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (Interstate 278). It once carried New York State Route 27A and was planned to carry Interstate 78, though these plans were aborted by the cancellation of the Lower Manhattan Expressway and Bushwick Expressway.No tolls are charged for the use of the bridge. The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City,
connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940. It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for
streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use the Manhattan Bridge.The original pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge was reopened after forty years in June 2001. It was also used by bicycles until late summer 2004, when a dedicated bicycle path was opened on the north side of the bridge, again in 2007 while the bike lane was used for truck access during repairs to the lower motor roadway, and for a third time in 2011, when ongoing construction on the north side of 
the bridge necessitated narrow shelters, narrowing the path to make it unsafe for cycling. Main span: 1,470 ft (448 m)Length of suspension cables: 3,224 ft (983 m)Total length: 6,855 ft (2,089 m)The neighborhood near the bridge on the Brooklyn side, once known as Fulton Landing has been gentrified and is called DUMBO, an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.To celebrate the bridge's centennial anniversary, a series of events and exhibits were organized by the New York City Bridge Centennial Commission in October 2009. These included a ceremonial parade across the Manhattan Bridge on the morning of October 4 and a fireworks display in the evening. In 20
09, the bridge was also designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Brooklyn Bridge is a bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. With a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspension bridge.Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name from an earlier January 25, 1867 letter to the
editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an icon of New York City, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972. Na ... Panjang kan cerita masing-masing jembatan? Hehehe ... Silahkan tebak, yang mana yang bernama Brooklyn Bridge? Yang mana juga yang bernama Manhattan Bridge atau Williamsburg Bridge? Kami tahu karena mendengar narasi diputar selama kami berlayar hehehe ... Kata mama, yang penting ada gambar jembatan sebagai latar belakang foto kami hahaha ...
