The Verrazano-Narrows bridge, which is 4,260 feet from tower to tower and links Staten Island and Brooklyn, opened to traffic on Nov. 21, 1964. In its first full year of operation, 17.6 million vehicles crossed the span. The architect of the bridge, Othmar Ammann, also built the Triborough (now Robert F. Kennedy), Bronx-Whitestone, Throgs Neck, George Washington, Bayonne, Goethals and Outerbridge Crossing bridges. Photos courtesy: MTA Bridges and Tunnels Special Archive
