Walking across the Manhattan Bridge from the Manhattan side. Filmed on June 24, 2022.

The bridge is newer than the Brooklyn Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge, the other two suspension bridges that span the East River, and often acts as an alternate route because of its proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge, which is 6,855 feet (2,089 metres) long, consists of a double-deck motorway with four lanes on top and three lanes on the bottom that are designed to change direction when necessary to assist traffic flow. In addition to cars, the bridge carries four subway lines, a pedestrian lane, and a separate bikeway.

To walk the Manhattan Bridge, you will cross the East River via a pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge. Total walking distance is around 1.3 miles one way, which could take as little as 25 minutes or as long as 2 hours depending on how many stops you decide to make. Manhattan Bridge is famous for sunset photos of Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge and “hole-in-fence photographs.
