The Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the US. With a total length of 1825 m (5989 ft), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1903. The main span, between the Neo-Gothic limestone granite towers, is m ( ft) long, with a clearance of 41m (135 ft). There are six lanes for cars and a separate upper deck walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. The builders made the bridge 4-6 times stronger than necessary, but, because of its age, there are restrictions on lorries and buses.
