Extending for 1.3 miles (2 kilometers) across New York City's East River, this 19th-century bridge sees constant foot, bike, and car traffic thanks to commuters and sightseers alike. After a construction beset by tragedies—at least 20 people died during the building process—this steel-wire suspension bridge, then the world's largest, finally opened to the public in 1883.

Great trip across the bridge!
Slavs had great stories and the pace went very well for such a large group (20). He also offered to take pictures of anyone if needed.
