- Today Michael Wyetzner of Michielli + Wyetzner Architects joins AD for an in-depth look at how bridges transformed New York City into the thriving metropolis we know today. Once upon a time, ferries were the only way to travel between New York’s five boroughs but thanks to the construction of major bridges, like The Brooklyn Bridge and The George Washington Bridge, the city became connected. Join Michael for a closer look at how five bridges helped shape NYC into the bustling city we know today.

I loved this episode, not only because of the content, but because it was presented by Mr. Wyetzner. He's the best!
I appreciate all of them but Mr. Wyetzner is my favorite. His expressiveness, especially with the hands, is what does it for me.
This running series of videos on New York Architecture by Mr.Wyetzner is such a cool concept. Love everything about it.
I really love it
@@utkandorait makes me go 😊
It makes me sooo happy!!
This guy nails it. He has the facts, presents them in an interesting and engaging way, and dumbs down the information to us plebs perfectly.
I took civil engineering in college and the the story of the Brooklyn Bridge was told to us over and over again (Frank . . .) "Stella!!!" paintings too.
Wyetzner explains the process of the caissons quickly and understandably.
He did make a few mistakes.
Mr. Wyetzner is really the best. He simplifies the complex construction projects that’s really easy to understand. He’s a gem.
The next 5 NYC bridges I'd like to see discussed by Mr. Wyetzner would be: the Manhattan Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Queensboro Bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and the no-longer-standing King's Bridge.
Yes! more of this would be great
Manhattan and Williamsburg are my favorites because subway trains go across them.
@@dr.woozie7500 There used to be trains that went over the Brooklyn Bridge, but those train lines were some of the elevated BMT lines that got taken down.
I’d like to hear Mr. Wyetzner’s story for why the Tappan Zee bridge was built at virtually the widest point possible on the Hudson River.
RIP to the men who built the beautiful Brookly bridge. 😔😔
Feed me more of these videos so I can continue to architecturally digest!
Absolutely fascinating. I simply cannot get enough of these architectural videos about New York. You mentioned the wonderful bus station at the Manhattan end of the George Washington Bridge, and said that nobody knows about it. Maybe you could do a video about that and other forgotten treasures of New York. In any case, more please...
Yes. I’ve walked past it thousands of times but gone inside much less-usually just for a restroom-so when it’s described as a marvel I wanted to hear more about why. (My son’s school bus went past the west side every day, under the end of the bridge, which the kindergarteners named the Tunnel of Doom. We still call it that while he’s a college sophomore.)
I appreciate that he included less popularly known bridges. There are so many structurally unique and interesting bridges in NYC that you could make a whole series about them.
The Verrazano bridge, Midtown Tunnel, Holland Tunnel and of course the 59th Street bridge…. DUH Amazing episode as always. Thank you for another history lesson about one of the greatest cities in the world NYC Bby ❤
Yes! The queensboro bridge is incredible
The bridges that connect Staten Island to New Jersey.
NYC is a cesspool
@@Coffeendonuts TO YOU but who cares!! lmfaooo
I am a huge fan of NYC history and a novice/curious fan of architecture. My Dad worked in commercial construction for years so I really enjoy every one of these videos. Particularly since I used to live in Manhattan and miss being surrounded by inspiring architecture!
Great video, very interesting.
Would be great to see similar breakdowns of other famous bridges; the Tower Bridge in London, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge, the Charles Bridge in Prague, or the High Bridge in Amsterdam.
Millau Viaduct is really cool too.
the Sydney Harbour Bridge happens to be a carbon copy (pun intended) of the Hellgate bridge
I can’t get enough of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Mr. Weitzner!!!!!!
Would love to see a video about the Pittsburgh area bridges.
Came here to say the same thing!!
Cosign
I totally agree!
You have made a great combined story of engineering, art and history. Thanks!
This guy is a treasure, and watching these videos brings me back to my time living in NYC, walking 10-15 km a day and taking my own architecture tours by googling famous addresses of buildings and bridges I'd see.
Fascinating and so very interesting! NYC rocks and so do you! Thank you very, very much!
Having been born in NY Hospital and living in the area for the next 45 years, I always enjoy learning of its history. Mr. Wyetzner did a fantastic job of bringing that history to life and for that I am truly greatful.
I could listen to him all day!
Thank you so much for this content. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing all these bridges, but I have to admit the GWB is my favorite of them all. I had “The Little Red Lighthouse at the Great Gray Bridge” as a little kid and as a teenager, I was thrilled to discover it was real when I saw it in person.
Loved this episode! Would be interested in hearing about 5 more bridges. Manhattan, Triboro, Verrazano narrows, Queensboro, Williamsburg bridges to name a few.
This was really interesting and so was full of fascinating information that when it finished ... I watched it again!
This was absolutely fantastic. As a life long New Yorker I never heard any of these stories. Incredible.
I love these videos, as well as the walking tours. It's so interesting to hear the history of the areas and how the structures came to be made.
This series is fascinating and Mr. Wyetzner is such a great host! Thank you so much!
Every one of these presentations makes me love NYC even more than before I watched them - and I cannot envision a time when this increasing love will ever cease. Thanks a ton Mr Wyetzner for bringing my favorite city to life so wonderfully!
this guy is great!
I say it every time, Mr Wyetzner is amazing. Please keep bringing him back!
I enjoy your historical narratives of New York features. Your voice is also a joy to listen to.
What a fantastic video! I especially enjoyed the info on the Hellgate Bridge and the GWB. Thank you for the wonderful videos in this series.
I LOVE these informative vids! So cool. Thanks for making them. ❤
I need more of your videos on whatever architecture topic. Seriously, love the way you describe it all.
GREAT SUMMARY!!!! Very well done!
Love all of Michael’s videos!
One of the types of videos that's so worthwhile watching. I'm slowly getting more content via social media that feeds my mind, and heart.❤
Thank you so much for your vivid descriptions, recognizing the era each bridge was in, and the difficulties that ensued. What remains is magnificent!
Fascinating!! Love the history and engineering - all presented so interestingly by Mr. Wyetzner. Thanks!
So well researched. Appreciate all the before times photos and paintings. Thanks so much!
Fantastic !! I have read a book that goes extensively into the process of building the Brooklyn Bridge, including all the wire being produced in Trenton, NJ and the details you mentioned about the Roeblings, the politics at the time, and so much more. Absolutely incredible history! So glad to learn a bit about the other bridges too! TY
This was terrific. Thanks!
Love these series. you’re fantastic and so all your picks
LOVE this video! I could listen to Mr. Wyetzner all day! Fascinating content.
This is still the most beautifully made format on the internet to just dive in and be entertained & informed
I am just so grateful for such quality content. Thank you AD!
Just found this channel! LOVE it!!
Both informative and entertaining! Excellent content thanks Mr Wyetzner
Mr. Wyetzners love of everything NYC is contagious. Loved it!
Love this series very much, it's bonded my family together because of my moms personal past in NY and Mr Wyetzner is so generous with his insight, knowledge and time!
I'll never have enough videos about New York with this guy, he's amazing !
These videos are so amazing. Keep em coming!!! It would be nice to learn about the remaining bridges.
As always, Mr. Wyetzer tells how really fascinating all these structures are in his videos. An excellent guide. I would this series to go further afield to other cities to see their architectural treasures. Bravo, sir!
These episodes are absolutely wonderful. I can’t get enough.
That was fascinating. Thank you for providing these very educational moments. I’m a native New Yorker (Bronx), but learn so much each time you present your masterclasses.
Great video. Thanks for all of the history behind these wonderful bridges-and a couple I'd never even heard of.
Great episode, so interesting - can't wait to come back to New York and go check these bridges out!
Love your interesting videos. This was great!
Fascinating video! Thank you! 👏
Fascinating. Thank you for a great story about a great city and its bridges.
The Robert Moses' bridges would be nice. Everybody knows the controversies of Robert Moses, but little is known of the actual designers and builders of his works.
I love this guys videos! I always learn something new
These episodes are just next level.
Love the history & I appreciate the minds & the workforce behind these great big staples called bridges.
Wonderful video. I loved it
Extremely well done!!! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! The Verrazano was always my favorite.
Excellent tutorial and overview.!! Please do more on NY bridges.. I LOVE these informative vids! So cool. Thanks for making them. .
Got that Brooklyn Bridge feeling watching this. Thank you.
as an uptown resident i loved seeing my neighborhood and surrounding areas through time through the history of these bridges, would love to know more about the GWB Bus terminal!
Same! I’ve seen it thousands of times, but would love to hear why an architect admires it.
Mr. Wyetzner is so articulate and knowledgeable, he is able to make the subject matter interesting to novices like me. Well done.
This was a fabulous post! Thank you Soooo much.
That's so interesting OMG. Thank you guys❤
What an interesting and fun presentation! Learned so much. I don't know how many zillions of times I've passed the George Washington Bridge - never noticed the lighthouse. Also so interesting to know that the area near Highbridge was once an active recreational site. My father used to drive me to school along the Harlem River Drive, and it always seemed like such a quiet and unknown part of the city.
Brilliant. Thank you so much!
Excellent tutorial and overview.!! Please do more on NY bridges.
Great video. Would like to hear about the Verrazano, Triborough, Throgs Neck, Manhattan and Queensboro bridges next
Thank you Mr. Wyetzner!
So glad you mentioned the high bridge. Very underrated
Thank You for this!
Wow, the Roebling family, John, Washington, and Emily! 👏
This was a great piece of content.
Really dig your videos. Interesting bridge history!
Well done.
Loved this, well done!!!
I truthfully love these breakdowns!
So fascinating! Thank you!
thanks Mr.Wyetzner ! helped me learn so much more about new york.
Love this! I'd watch these all day over celebrity house doors. Keep em comin!
Thank you foe sharing beautiful New York.
I'd love to see a follow up including the Triborough Bridge, the 59th st Bridge, and the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. Videos are engaging and wonderful, as always
As a native New Yorker, thanks for mentioning the Little Red Lighthouse. I had the book as a child and still remember the story.
No clue what other bridges I want to see, but for sure I want more content just like this. Wonderful all around ❤
I've traversed on every single 1 them & haven't thought about the history behind them so thanks for this !
Fascinating..... well done
I love that you mentioned the Little Red Lighthouse! When I was in 2nd grade my teacher read that book to our class, and then took us on a field trip to visit it.
Thank you for these videos.
Planning my first trip over Christmas..Thank you for the history of New York.
this video gave me so much joy!
Absolutely delightful video.
This was so absolutely fascinating ❤
Please make this a series!! Incredible job signed bridge aficionado
