The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is an iconic suspension bridge that spans the entrance to New York Harbor, connecting the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City, United States. Here's a brief history of the bridge:

Proposal and Planning:The idea for a bridge connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn was first proposed in the early 20th century.
