The cost will vary from $5,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the location, the surgeon and the extent of the surgery. This range likely would not include anesthesia and operating room charges.
John Roebling was appointed Chief Engineer of the New York Bridge Company later in 1867. Wilhelm Hildenbrand was hired as a draftsman to prepare detailed drawings. He also provided illustrations to promote the âEast Riverâ, or âBrooklynâ bridge.
John Augustus Robeling's pioneering genius made the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge possible. Roebling was born on June 12, 1806 in Germany. After graduating from the Royal Polytechnic Institute in Berlin, Roebling immigrated to the United States in 1830 to pursue a career in engineering.
