	John A. Roebling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Augustus Roebling (born Johann August Röbling, June 12, 1806 in Mühlhausen - July 22, 1869) was a German-born civil engineer famous for his wire rope suspension bridge designs.
		In 1848, Roebling undertook the construction of four suspension aqueducts on the Delaware and Hudson Canal.
		Roebling's next project, starting in 1851, was a railroad bridge connecting the New York Central and Great Western Railway of Canada over the Niagara River, which would take four years.

		Roebling, John Augustus (1806-1869), American civil engineer, who was one of the pioneers in the construction of suspension bridges.
		Roebling was born in Mühlhausen, Germany, and educated at the Royal Polytechnic School, Berlin.
		He then demonstrated the practicability of steel cables in bridge construction and in 1841 established at Saxonburg the first factory to manufacture steel-wire rope in the U.S. Roebling utilized steel cables in the construction of numerous suspension bridges and is generally considered one of the pioneers in the field of suspension-bridge construction.

		Roebling recognized the need for a stronger and smaller cable than the large hemp ropes that were used to pull the canal boats up and over the Portage Railroad so he invented a strong wire cable in his Saxonburg workshop.
		Roebling won the contract to replace the bridge with one of his new suspension bridges.
		Roebling died in 1869 from an accident he sustained while supervising the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, leaving Washington to manage its completion in 1883.

		Roebling proposed that steel wire, rather than the usual iron, be used; that the span be built as close to City Hall park as possible and that the structure be not only safe beyond all doubt but esthetically satisfying.
		Roebling then called the board of consulting engineers after completing his design to examine his plans, three other engineers from war department also examined to see whether or not the bridge would be an obstruction to navigation.
		In spite of Roebling’s inability to supervise the work, his wife did excellent effort, she was so involved in the project, that she was the first person to ride across the span during the opening ceremony while president Chester Arthur and New York Governor Grover Cleveland followed Mrs.
