The Brooklyn Bridge is labeled as critical in the list. It's also one of 68 bridges across the country deemed essential, along with the Verrazano Narrows Bridge and the Williamsburg Bridge.
The NTSB noted that its recommendation does not suggest that the bridges are certain to collapse, but rather the bridges are above the American Association of State Highway and Transportation officials' acceptable level of risk.
