New York City’s Five Major Suspension Bridges

NYC has five iconic suspension bridges:

1. Brooklyn Bridge – Manhattan ↔ Brooklyn (1883).
2. George Washington Bridge – Manhattan ↔ Fort Lee, NJ (1931).
3. Henry Hudson Bridge – Manhattan (Washington Heights) ↔ Manhattan (Inwood) over Harlem River (1936).
4. Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (formerly Triborough) – Manhattan ↔ Queens ↔ The Bronx (1936).
5. Verrazzano‑Narrows Bridge – Brooklyn ↔ Staten Island (1964).

These spans define the city’s skyline and connect its boroughs and neighboring states.
