"The Brooklyn Bridge is a large-scale steel and stone cable-stayed suspension bridge with a central span of 1,595 feet (486m) and a toal length of 5,989 Feet (1,25m). Completed in 1883, it spans the East River to connect the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is owned, operated, and maintained by the City of New York’s Department of Transportation, and has remained in active use since its completion, carrying cars, pedestrians and bicycles. Until the mid-20th century, it also carried elevated trains and streetcars. The property covers approximately 20 acres (8 ha)."
