Link to Modern marvels: Bridges of new york documentary
Documentary Description
Much of the history of New York City can be told through its bridges.
These bridges, spanning the city's rivers, changed destinies. They
linked some to opportunity, others to ruin. In the age of iron and steel
they were architectural masterpieces--designed by engineers, but
beloved as works of art. New York county, better known as Manhattan
Island, is connected to its neighbors by 18 bridges. Each bridge has a
story to tell.
