The Williamsburg Bridge is a suspension bridge across the East River in New York City, connecting the Lower East Side of Manhattan with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. The bridge was completed in 1903 and was the longest suspension bridge span in the world until 1924, measuring 7,308 feet long. The bridge underwent several renovations, including a substantial renovation in the 1980s and 1990s due to structural defects, and it is currently being renovated again in the 2020s. The bridge has a main span of 1,600 feet and is carried on four main cables suspended from two 335-foot towers, and it features eight lanes of vehicular traffic, two subway tracks, and two walkway and bike paths.learn more on wikipedia
