[@Grahameajohnson]

My folks just got back from yet another trip the the Big Apple (from way up here in western Canada) and will continue going back as they love how iconic in so many ways the city - and its crossings - is / are. Thank you for your careful, thoughtful and poignant analysis, particularly of this classic behemoth among cities. As a photographer and lover of such spans, I'm in awe and await my turn at being among these ancient structures.

Really great story about New York's bridges. This is remarkable tribute to engineering achievements in bridge design and construction. Congratulations!!!

[@stocksoul178]

I absolutely LOVE New York City's river crossings. I live in New Jersey and love driving to NYC. My favorite bridge by far is the Verrazano--Narrows. Such an impressive structure.

Love the B1M, an incredible channel & video; surprised though they didn't talk about the Manhattan Bridge or even Williamsburg Bridge

[@oyvey764]

Always impressed with the quality of videos on this channel! Informative, succinct and visually appealing. Thanks B1M

[@koholohan3478]

The Verrazano's Narrows Bridge was built with the curvature of the Earth in mind. The tops on each side are slightly farther apart than the bottoms of each side. Presumably, if you were to follow them vertically, they wouldn't be parallel. Instead, they would meet in the center of the Planet.

[@ralfoide]

Beautifully presented, such quality, with a right amount of detail on each bridge. This is a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thanks.

[@TheB1M]

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching and for the great feedback 👍

[@AneudiD78]

The city could rename the 59th street bridge all they want, but it'll always be the Queensboro Bridge!

[@nyc1164]

I called it "Queensboro/59th Street/Ed Koch Bridge. If that's too long, then Queensboro it is.

[@kwacou4279]

And Koch sucked. Only non New Yorkers include the former mayors name when saying the 59th street bridge.

[@mariowalker9048]

I always just said Queenbridge since it's near the neighborhood Queensbridge and I grew up in the projects a few blocks east of it.

I suggest clarification re "longest bridge" usage. Re suspension bridges, I think the basis for the claim is based on length of main span, length between supporting towers.
