Here
is the Williamsburg Bridge. Built from 1896 to 1903 this suspension bridge
spans 7,308 feet with its approaches. From beyond this bridge isn't exactly
the most aesthetically pleasing of New York City's crossings. Actually,
it's got to be one of our ugliest bridges. |
Perhaps more because of its
skeletal appearance than anything else. But it's an interesting bridge
to cross by foot or on bike. As you can see from the photos above one gets
to walk very close to the bridge's girders. The paths from one end to the
other have divisions themselves for bike riders and pedestrians. |
