This is the official site of BBIMBY or Brooklyn Bridge In My Back Yard.

After a career in the steel and wire rope industry I developed not only a passion for all things wire rope and suspension bridge related, but also an intense admiration for the Roebling family and the Brooklyn Bridge. Having the land available and inviting others into my passion, I now commence upon the Brooklyn Bridge In My Back Yard.

21.8.16

WE'RE BAAACK!

After a couple of years of side-tracks (barn remodel, swimming pool, fence, fire pit, pergola), the bridge construction will resume this fall (2016). Remember, Washington Roebling took time out for the Civil War during the Cincinnati Bridge construction.

Looks like standard concrete block and standard split-face block will be used -- two wall thicknesses up to 8 ft and 1 wall thickness from there up.

Split-face LW 8x8x16 run about $1.70 ea.

Lightweight 8x8x16 about $1.40 ea.

LW split-face corner about $2.65 ea.

One tower up to 8 ft roadway = $730 + mortar & sand

Here we go!
