These are two of New York’s five boroughs crossing East River. It was opened in 1883 at that time, it was the largest suspension bridge in the world. Brooklyn Bridge is 486 metres long and 84 metres tall, that’s large, isn’t it? It’s one of the main tourist attractions out there in New York City. The bridge is now opened only for cars, pedestrians and cyclists, commercial vehicles are actually banned from using the bridge. About 10 000 people a day cross the bridge on a large pedestrian and bicycle lane and are enjoying amazing views of Lower Manhattan skyscrapers on one side and historic Brooklyn on the other side of the bridge. Walking in one direction is kind of a long period of time. Actually you need about 20 minutes just to pass to the other side of the bridge. It’s quite interesting fact, isn’t it?

Balto, a husky, was one of the heroic lead dogs.
