The Brooklyn Bridge spans over New York City’s East river, connected Manhattan and Brooklyn. The construction started in 1869. It took 14 years, 600 workers and cost 15 million US dollars to finish the building.
In the beginning of the project, the main engineer was John Augustus Roebling, a great pioneer in designing steel suspension bridges. He graduated as an industrial engineer, but in the end, he became a civil engineer and ran a successful wire cable factory. Furthermore, Roebling was the first engineer that uses steel-wire cable to support a bridge. Soon after the construction began, Roebling was fatally injured by a boat smashed off one of his feet’s toe and tetanus has taken his life after three weeks later. Therefore, his 32 years
