The Williamsburg Bridge is a New York City icon unto itself. Starting service as the longest suspension bridge in the world, the bridge has been woven into the byways of the city ever since. Join us for a walk over the bridge as we retrace its history, from pneumatics to jazz and granite to gold, with, of course, a lot of steel in between.
This walking tour will take us from Manhattan to Brooklyn, a minimum walking distance of about 1.5 miles (1.7 to the nearest Subway station). Comfortable shoes, water, and a tolerance for loud metallic noises strongly recommended.
Accessibility
This walking tour will take us from Manhattan to Brooklyn, a minimum walking distance of about 1.5 miles (1.7 to the nearest Subway station). Comfortable shoes, water, and a tolerance for loud metallic noises strongly recommended. No stairs are required so a wheelchair is technically possible, but grades are quite steep. Environment is noisy so accessibility may be difficult for hearing impaired folks, but we can provide a printed transcript of the tour with prior request. CitiBike, Bus, and Subway are available at both ends. Parking is difficult. Note that the route is not a loop.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
