The George Washington Bridge opened in 1931, connecting Manhattan to Fort Lee, New Jersey across the Hudson River. Designed by engineer Othmar Ammann, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time. Originally built with one deck, a second level was added in 1962 to handle growing traffic. Today, it’s one of the busiest bridges on Earth—and for nearly a century, it’s been the iconic gateway into New Jersey. . . #newjersey #bridge #traffic #history #fyp | Vintage New Jersey
