Lesson Plans. 1. The Brooklyn Bridge, constructed between 1869-1883, is a symbol of late 19th-century innovation and progress. It was the first suspension bridge to use steel for its cable wire and the first to use pneumatic caissons.
In addition, a bridge would provide a route across the Baltimore Harbor for vehicles transporting hazardous materials (these materials are prohibited from both the Baltimore Harbor and Fort McHenry tunnels). Construction began in 1972, and the bridge opened to traffic on March 23, 1977.
