The Brooklyn Bridge is in New York City. It spans two of New York City's five boroughs: Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn Bridge connects the Civic Center of Manhattan, where the courts and City Hall are located, with three contiguous neighborhoods in Brooklyn: DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn (also the civic center of Brooklyn), and Brooklyn Heights.

On the Manhattan side, the Brooklyn Bridge starts at City Hall.

On the Brooklyn side, the Brooklyn Bridge vehicular traffic arrives at Tillary/Adams Streets.

The pedestrian walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge starts across from City Hall in lower Manhattan on the Manhattan side of the East River.

The Brooklyn Bridge serves cars and pedestrian traffic only.

No subways or trains cross the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Brooklyn Bridge that exists today is the original. There is a miniature copy of the Brooklyn Bridge in Las Vegas.
