Walking the bridge is safe and takes anywhere from 20-30 minutes. It will be COLD in January.

You might be a little crazy to do it in the winter - it may be windy and freezing cold! There will be thousands of people crossing the bridge, mainly other tourists. The biggest safety issue is bicycles - if you don't want to get hit by one, stay on the south side of the walkway, out of the bike lane.<BR><BR>The walk takes about 15-20 minutes.<BR><BR>I live right at the end of the Bridge on the Brooklyn side. It's a safe area.

Once you walk over the bridge and reach Brooklyn, you may wish to walk a few more blocks west, down Montegue Ave. to the Brooklyn Promenade for &quot;killer&quot; views of lower Manhatten and the Statue of Liberty. You won't be sorry!!! Very safe and even ritzy area: Brooklyn Heights.
