Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Manhattan Bridge shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Manhattan Bridge offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Manhattan Bridge at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Manhattan Bridge? Wrong! If the Manhattan Bridge is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Manhattan Bridge then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Manhattan Bridge? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Manhattan Bridge and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Manhattan Bridge wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Manhattan Bridge then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Manhattan Bridge site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

{{Infobox_Bridge|bridge_name= Manhattan Bridge|image= Manhattan Bridge 2007.jpg|caption= View from Brooklyn, 4 tracks of the trains of the [New York City Subway, pedestrians, and bicycles]|locale= Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York City|id=|design= [Suspension bridge, [1909 that crosses the [East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed and built by Poland bridge engineer Ralph Modjeski with the deflection cables designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940. It has 4 vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways), and 3 vehicle lanes, 4 Manhattan Bridge subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway on the lower level. The upper level has 2 lanes in each direction, and the lower level can be one-way in peak direction or have 2 lanes in one direction and the other in the opposite direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use Manhattan Bridge.

A new pedestrian walkway opened on the south side of the bridge in June 2001, where streetcars formerly ran. It was also used by bicycles until late summer 2004, when a dedicated bicycle path was opened on the north side of the bridge, and again in 2007 while the bike lane was used for truck access during repairs to the lower motor roadway.



The bridge and I-478

As part of the construction of the Lower Manhattan Expressway, there were plans to make the Manhattan Bridge Interstate 478 but since this interstate would have led to a crosstown expressway and the existing Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the FHWA said that the first digit should be even so I-478 was chosen. 3 digit interstates x78, accessed December 19, 2006 However, with the cancellation of I-78 through New York City, the spur was dubbed useless.
