While
under construction, the beauty of the bridge was a source of comment.
The completed bridge has been considered a striking landmark, marking
the entry to New York Harbor. The photographs and comments that follow
illustrate the power and aesthetic achievement of the bridge.
"...the
realization that all this grace is merely an instrument for the insensate
rush of endless ribbons of cars, trucks, and buses is too depressingly
mundane to contemplate in this moment of magnificent birth."
New York Times, November 22, 1964. |
