Joe Hohmann posted:The bridge is 101 years old. I read that the bridge is so well built, it could last another 200 years with a minimum of upkeep. I go over this bridge about 9 times each year, and I have a hand-built, 3 ft. long, model of it that I bought at York about 6 years ago.
It's been said that, if the human race ceased to exist, it would be the last bridge in Manhattan to fall to the elements. It's estimated it would take about 1,000 years. 700 more than the rest of the bridges scattered around Manhattan Island.
