EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the magnificent Suspension Bridge of the iconic Triborough Bridge, located in New York City during 1936. The bridge spans an impressive length of 2800 feet, with a river span measuring 1380 feet between its towers. It stands tall and proud at a height of 153 feet above water, accommodating eight lanes of traffic on its wide roadway. The construction of this engineering marvel was part of the larger Triborough project, which cost a staggering $64 million at that time. Each cable used in building this suspension bridge contained an incredible 9176 wires, with a diameter measuring 21 inches. These cables were instrumental in providing strength and stability to support such massive infrastructure. This image showcases not only the architectural brilliance but also highlights the significance of transportation and civil engineering in shaping urban landscapes. The Suspension Bridge served as a vital link connecting Astoria to Ward's Island, facilitating smooth movement across New York City. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, we are reminded of the ingenuity and vision required to create such monumental structures that stand as testaments to human achievement. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into the past and allows us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality inherent in these masterpieces of design.
