The Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York City’s most iconic landmarks and is a National Historic Landmark.

 

Mackinac Bridge, Michigan

Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans approximately five miles across the Straits of Mackinac, connecting Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.

It’s also the bridge my father was always fearful to drive over! He would pull over beforehand and have my mother drive over it!
