纽约人庆祝威廉斯堡桥 (Williamsburg
Bridge) 正式开放
1903年12月19日
威廉斯堡桥长1600英尺，连接曼哈顿与布鲁克林的威廉斯堡地区。一直到1920年代，威廉斯堡桥一直都还是世界上最长的悬浮桥。不过随着时空移转，这座桥后来成为电车与火车行驶的桥，不过现在桥上的交通工具又被汽车与公车所替换。这座桥现在平均一天有超过9万辆车次来往。虽然马车已经进入历史，但是你还是可以和100年前的纽约人一样，在威廉斯堡桥上骑脚踏车或行走。
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.
