It does if you have gone over the Brooklyn Bridge ... or at least seen it.
Roebling designed that masterpiece, and he did this one too. It crosses the upper Delaware.
The bridge was originally the Delaware Aqueduct, and constructed in 1847. It's the oldest wire suspension bridge in the country. Back in the day it eased traffic on the river, as timber often was floated downstream to Philadelphia. The bridge connects Minisink with Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania. The place received a facelift, courtesy of the National Park Service about 20 years ago.
The pillars at the bottom of the bridge are designed to break up the ice. On top, there are two paths for pedestrians, and a one-car lane for people to use when driving from one state to another.
It's all very impressive, and you might see some eagles if you go for a walk to the other state.
