Description
The Brooklyn Bridge wasn’t the only iconic bridge in New York City. The Manhattan bridge became a model for future suspension bridges since it was the first one to use Josef Melan’s deflection theory for the stiffening of its deck and also, a Warren truss in its design. The bridge itself was completed in 1909 but a year later, its arch and colonnade were added after the architectural firm Carrère and Hastings wanted to give it a beautiful entry, as part of the “City Beautiful” movement.
