Ground broke for the Verrazano Narrows Bridge spanning from Brooklyn to Staten Island, 1959

If you're going to wear dresses for the next 4 days, go for it today. If you're going to miss one day, today is the one.



The longest suspension bridge at the time (longer than the Golden Gate Bridge by 60 feet), the Verrazano was Robert Moses's last big project as New York State Parks Commissioner and head of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority.
