You'll want to move "once the longest suspension bridge in the world" to right after "The Brooklyn Bridge." As it's written now, the sentence implies Manhattan was once a suspension bridge. The sentence, then, will read "The Brooklyn Bridge, once the longest suspension bridge in the world, connects Brooklyn and Manhattan."
