There is a fascinating backstory to this bridge. Among other things, it took an extraordinary amount of time to build due to problems with bureaucracy and red tape. From the time it was announced as a project, it took 31 years to begin construction. The bridge eventually started construction in 1936 and opened in 1939. The bridge stretches for an impressive 3,700 feet over the East River.
