Aerial view of the Manhattan Bridge, located on the East River, New York City,
The Manhattan Bridge is 6855 feet (2091 meters) long, with a main span of 1470 feet (462 meters). The upper level has four vehicular lanes and a pedestrian walk; the lower level has three vehicular lanes and four subway tracks. The entrance to the bridge on Canal Street is decorated by a grand arch and flanking colonnades. The Manhattan Bridge's steel towers are painted a pleasing dusty blue, which when combined with the delicate suspension cables make this massive bridge seem as light and airy as the Brooklyn Bridge seems heavy and substantial. Situated between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, a walk across the Manhattan Bridge is an excellent opportunity to view all three.
