what type of bridge is the brooklyn bridge

The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge that spans the East River between the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, completed in 1883. The bridge is a steel-wire suspension bridge that uses a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge design, with both vertical and diagonal suspender cables. Its towers are neo-Gothic, with characteristic pointed arches. The Brooklyn Bridge is the first bridge to use steel for cable wire, and during its construction, explosives were used inside a pneumatic caisson for the first time. The bridge supports six lanes of vehicles (no trucks) and a shared pedestrian and bicycle path.
