Verrazano Narrows
Bridge
A city on a river of course has many bridges, and New York city is no exception. While the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is the most majestic and impressive there are other interesting bridges in the city as well that are well worth a visit.
From its completion in 1964 until 1981 the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world. But the idea for the bridge went back a lot before 1964, in fact some of the first serious proposals are from the 1950s when Port Authority of New York and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority held a joint study on improving traffic flows in the area.
