George Washington Bridge

Bridge Across the Hudson

West 178th Street
Interstate Highway I-95
New York, NJ 07024

Opened in 1931 and looming 604 feet about the water, the GWB is the only New York City bridge that crosses the Hudson River. Designed by Othmar H. Ammann, it connects Manhattan at 178th Street to Fort Lee, New Jersey. Different from the Brooklyn Bridge, the towers are made of exposed steel, giving it an almost futuristic look that is positively spectacular once the sun has set. Operating on two levels, with millions of commuters passing over it daily, it is one of the busiest bridges in the world.
