Verrazano Narrows Bridge - Verrazano Narrows Bridge
This suspension bridge connects Brooklyn and Staten Island in New York on the east coast of the United States, and spans The Narrows (a strait connecting Upper and Lower New York Bays). It opened in November 1964, and its central span of 1,298 meters was the longest in the world for 17 years until the Humber Bridge was built. The idea of ​​building a bridge or tunnel over this bridge had existed since the 1920s, but in 1948 the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority drew up a plan to build one, and construction began in 1959 to improve traffic conditions around New York.
