The construction of the bridge took almost 16 years from 1869 to 1883. It was designed by a German engineer John Augustus.

Special walkways are designated for cyclists and pedestrians. Commercial vehicles are however prohibited from using the bridge due to the height and width of the roads.

The bridge was renovated recently in 2007 after close attention was paid to the renovation of bridges. This happened due to the collapse of Mississippi River Bridge at that time.
It was the main gateway after the collapse of WTC in 2001. All the subways were jammed and subway service was jammed. People crossed the bridge on foot. They reported more swaying of bridge, due to more load on it.
