The Squibb Park footbridge rises majestically above Brooklyn Bridge Park, behind Pier 1.
The bridge includes a wheelchair accessible ramp, as well as stairs.
The bridge is made of wood, cables, and concrete supports
Check out that wood
More ramp!
Seriously, the bridge does bounce. Like a lot. Like you'll be "what the hell is that?" when you're crossing and your friend, as a joke, jumps up and down. Don't be scared! It's supposed to happen.
Entrance to bridge
The bridge stretches across Furman Street, helpfully allowing you to avoid the cars that treat Furman like a raceway.
Looking from Squibb Bridge to a neighboring, but far less cool, bridge.
Looking toward the skyline- the bridge has a few sections at jaunty angles to each other.
Look at that decking!
At the upper end, the bridge connects to Squibb Park.
But then you have to go up some less impressive old concrete ramps.
This bridge is truly a monument to your everlasting glory, Mr. Squibb.
