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.

I’m really enjoying them and I didn’t initially have a huge interest in architecture. Was curious about it and started watching these. Hes great at explaining things and keeping it interesting

This running series of videos on New York Architecture by Mr.Wyetzner is such a cool concept. Love everything about it.

Mr. Wyetzner is really the best. He simplifies the complex construction projects that’s really easy to understand. He’s a gem.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

RIP to the men who built the beautiful Brookly bridge. 😔😔

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.

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!

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 ❤

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.

Fascinating and so very interesting! NYC rocks and so do you! Thank you very, very much!

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.

This was really interesting and so was full of fascinating information that when it finished ... I watched it again!

I could listen to him all day!

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.

This was terrific. Thanks!

I enjoy your historical narratives of New York features. Your voice is also a joy to listen to.

this guy is great!

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.

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.❤

I LOVE these informative vids! So cool. Thanks for making them. ❤

This was absolutely fantastic. As a life long New Yorker I never heard any of these stories. Incredible.

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.

Got that Brooklyn Bridge feeling watching this. Thank you.

Wow, the Roebling family, John, Washington, and Emily! 👏

Love these series. you’re fantastic and so all your picks

A man's brain is incredible to be able to build, engineer, and keep these massive structures up for all these years.

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.

The tolls on the GW bridge are insane! Million dollars a day?? Wow. Excellent video.

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.

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.

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!

Mr. Wyetzner is so articulate and knowledgeable, he is able to make the subject matter interesting to novices like me. Well done.

Thank you so much for your vivid descriptions, recognizing the era each bridge was in, and the difficulties that ensued. What remains is magnificent!

I say it every time, Mr Wyetzner is amazing. Please keep bringing him back!

Planning my first trip over Christmas..Thank you for the history of New York.

How they set the foundation is crazy

The Dames Point Bridge in Jacksonville, FL! It is the second longest concrete cable-stayed bridge in the western hemisphere. Interesting local history behind the strip of land it crosses, as well.

The Highland bridge reminds me of a bridge we have here in Minneapolis called the Stone Arch Bridge. Definitely have to take a walk on the Highland bridge whenever I go back to NYC

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!

This was a great piece of content.

I am just so grateful for such quality content. Thank you AD!

LOVE this video! I could listen to Mr. Wyetzner all day! Fascinating content.

Thank you again for the great post. How about a look at that great bus station no one knows about?

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

As a native New Yorker, thanks for mentioning the Little Red Lighthouse. I had the book as a child and still remember the story.

Fascinating!! Love the history and engineering - all presented so interestingly by Mr. Wyetzner. Thanks!

I need more of your videos on whatever architecture topic. Seriously, love the way you describe it all.

Excellent tutorial and overview.!! Please do more on NY bridges.

Fascinating video! Thank you! 👏

Both informative and entertaining! Excellent content thanks Mr Wyetzner

So well researched. Appreciate all the before times photos and paintings. Thanks so much!

These episodes are absolutely wonderful. I can’t get enough.

Great video. Thanks for all of the history behind these wonderful bridges-and a couple I'd never even heard of.

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.

Mr. Wyetzners love of everything NYC is contagious. Loved it!

I love this guys videos! I always learn something new

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!

The Hellgate Bridge looks like a mini Sydney Harbor Bridge.

I just want to say thank you to the brave men who labored and lost their lives building something so valuable. Thank you!

Thank you Mr. Wyetzner!

These videos are so amazing. Keep em coming!!! It would be nice to learn about the remaining bridges.

Please discuss the Verrazano Narrows and Bayonne Bridge by Othmar Ammann. Mr. Wyetzner, you are a bridge of knowledge.

Never would have searched for this video hut im happy it showed up in my fyp. I learned so much

I was expecting to see the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge talked about. That bridge was an amazing feat of engineering.

thanks Mr.Wyetzner ! helped me learn so much more about new york.

This is still the most beautifully made format on the internet to just dive in and be entertained & informed

Would love to see a video about the Pittsburgh area bridges.. RIP to the men who built the beautiful Brookly bridge. .

Thank you for these videos.

Love your interesting videos. This was great!

I've traversed on every single 1 them & haven't thought about the history behind them so thanks for this !

Great video. Bridges I’d like to see discussed on this channel: Verrazano Narrows Bridge, Pulaski Skyway, Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Sunshine Skyway, SF Bay Bridge (new eastern span)

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.

Love all of Michael’s videos!

Absolutely delightful video.

Great episode, so interesting - can't wait to come back to New York and go check these bridges out!

Excellent tutorial and overview.!! Please do more on NY bridges.. I LOVE these informative vids! So cool. Thanks for making them. .
