Suspension bridge over the East River opened in 1909, linking Canal Street in Manhattan with Brooklyn. On the Manhattan side, a large Beaux-Arts arch with a colonnade marks the entrance to the bridge. It has a pedestrian walkway and is less crowded than the Brooklyn Bridge; from it you can see the Brooklyn Bridge and the skyline of Lower Manhattan.
