The Manhattan Bridge

This is a shot of the Manhattan Bridge as seem from the Brooklyn Bridge in early morning light.

It seems wherever you are in NYC you always see new construction going on and its no exception with this view where you can see a new building climbing into the sky.

A Little about the Bridge

The Manhattan Bridge is a Suspension Bridge crossing the East River between lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.
Construction on the bridge started in 1901 and it opened to traffic in December 1908.
It was the last of three bridges built back then across the East river following the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, it was originally named Bridge no 3 but the name changed to the Manhattan bridge in 1902, and I think its a far better name than Bridge number 3 personally.

This is another shot of the Manhattan Bridge, taken after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge and from one of the parks on the Brooklyn Side
