Flag Over Bridge for 250th Anniversary | New York City News
Description
New York is set to unveil a colossal American flag draped across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge for the nation’s 250th anniversary, echoing a historic 1976 display that famously tore apart in the wind. Officials are taking weather seriously, planning to raise the flag only if winds stay below 25 mph — a cautious nod to past mishaps. Beyond the celebration, the bridge’s location honors the Battle of Brooklyn, anchoring the display in America’s revolutionary roots.
