紐約人慶祝威廉斯堡橋 (Williamsburg
Bridge) 正式開放
1903年12月19日
威廉斯堡橋長1600英尺，連接曼哈頓與布魯克林的威廉斯堡地區。一直到1920年代，威廉斯堡橋一直都還是世界上最長的懸浮橋。不過隨著時空移轉，這座橋後來成為電車與火車行駛的橋，不過現在橋上的交通工具又被汽車與公車所取代。這座橋現在平均一天有超過9萬輛車次來往。雖然馬車已經進入歷史，但是你還是可以和100年前的紐約人一樣，在威廉斯堡橋上騎腳踏車或行走。
The 1,600-foot Williamsburg Bridge connects Manhattan to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Until the 1920s, the Williamsburg was the world's longest suspension bridge. As times changed, the bridge became a route for trolley cars and trains. Today, cars and buses have replaced the trolley cars. Instead of a train, more than 90,000 riders a day cross the bridge on the subway. Although the horse-drawn carriage has been relegated to the past, you can still bicycle or walk across the Williamsburg Bridge just as New Yorkers did more than 100 years ago.
