How Long is the Brooklyn Bridge

Most visitors will not walk the complete promenade, as there are a couple of places where one can reach the promenade along the way.

For example, many visitors will start from the Manhattan side of the bridge and walk to the High Street subway station.

There they will catch the A or C train back into Manhattan, which is 1.4 miles in length (or roughly 2.3 km).

This is the length that you should consider when calculating the time needed to cross the bridge.
