Kevin Woyce, author, photographer, lecturer will give an informative and educational presentation on Manhattan Bridges. Manhattan’s first bridge, the wooden King’s Bridge, opened in 1693. Today, 20 bridges link the island to the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and to New Jersey. Discover how and why the most famous bridges were built, including the High Bridge of the Croton Aqueduct, the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro, and Triborough Bridges, and the George Washington Bridge. This program is illustrated with both original photography and vintage images of Manhattan’s iconic bridges, and of the city they helped to shape.
