One of the most epic engineering feats in history - Alex Gendler
Dig into the history of the construction of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and how John Roebling designed a hybrid suspension system to build it.
--
In the mid-19th century, suspension bridges were collapsing all across Europe. Their industrial cables frayed and snapped under the weight of their decks. So when German American engineer John Roebling proposed building the largest and most expensive suspension bridge ever conceived, New York City officials were understandably skeptical. Alex Gendler details the building of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.

Virtual Museum: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling
John Roebling was one of the nineteenth century’s most brilliant engineers, ingenious inventors, successful manufacturers, and fascinating personalities. Raised in a German backwater amid the war-torn chaos of the Napoleonic Wars, he immigrated to the US in 1831, where he became wealthy and acclaimed, eventually receiving a carte-blanche contract to build one of the nineteenth century’s most stupendous and daring works of engineering: a gigantic suspension bridge to span the East River between New York and Brooklyn. In between, he thought, wrote, and worked tirelessly. He dug canals and surveyed railroads; he planned communities and founded new industries. Horace Greeley called him “a model immigrant”; generations later, F. Scott Fitzgerald worked on a script for the movie version of his l...

Roebling Bridge | Kentucky Life | KET
Northern Kentucky's John A. Roebling Bridge was once the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet. It was a marvel of civil engineering—and a model for the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. In this segment we get some amazing bird's-eye views of the bridge from a helicopter and from the top of the 75-foot towers.
John Roebling was already well known as a bridge designer and the inventor of the wire rope when he was hired to build the Ohio River bridge linking Covington, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio. Construction began in 1856, but it would be more than a decade before it opened due to financial downturns and the Civil War.
The bridge's two massive towers with their 30-foot arches were built from limestone and sandstone. The cables were spun from wrought iron imported from Englan...

Northern Kentucky's John A. Roebling Bridge was once the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet. It was a marvel of civil engineering—and a model for the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. In this segment we get some amazing bird's-eye views of the bridge from a helicopter and from the top of the 75-foot towers.
John Roebling was already well known as a bridge designer and the inventor of the wire rope when he was hired to build the Ohio River bridge linking Covington, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio. Construction began in 1856, but it would be more than a decade before it opened due to financial downturns and the Civil War.
The bridge's two massive towers with their 30-foot arches were built from limestone and sandstone. The cables were spun from wrought iron imported from England. Notably, Roebling also strengthened the bridge with innovative diagonal stays that extended from the towers to the bridge deck.
The bridge opened to traffic on Jan. 1, 1867, and today is recognized as a National Historic Landmark. The Covington Cincinnati Suspension Bridge Committee continues efforts to preserve this iconic structure.
