The Brooklyn Bridge Turns 140!
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 24, 2023
It has been 140 years since the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public. Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, who made his first film about it back in the 1980s, and Michael Kimmelman, architecture critic for The New York Times and the author of The Intimate City: Walking New York (Penguin Press, 2022), talk about walking across the iconic bridge, the history of who built it and the "why" behind beautiful infrastructure.
