Verrazano-Narrows Bridge

The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge (also referred to as the Verrazzano Bridge, locally as the Verrazzano, and formerly as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge or Narrows Bridge) is a suspension bridge in New York City. It connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn.
The bridge is named for the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. His ship was the first to enter New York Harbor.
When construction was finished, the Verrazzano-Narrows was the longest suspension bridge in the world. It was the longest until the Humber Bridge surpassed that length in 1981.
