Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, formerly spelled Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, long-span suspension bridge spanning New York Harbor from Brooklyn to Staten Island, built by Othmar H. Ammann from 1959 to 1964. An exceptionally expensive engineering project largely because of the problem of land acquisition, its total cost was $325 million. It is the longest suspension bridge in the United States and the 17th longest in the world.
