Suspension bridge

 

 

 

The last of the three great suspension bridges constructed across the East River, the Manhattan Bridge today is one of the most heavily traveled East River crossings.  During an average day, more than 78,000 vehicles and 350,000 people use the bridge’s six roadways and two subway tracks to pass between Canal Street in lower Manhattan and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. It’s one of the most aesthetically pleasing of New York City’s transportation structures.
