George Washington Bridge Collection

The Washington Bridge connects New Jersey to New York City is the world's busiest automobile bridge carrying 100 million cars annually. It was commissioned by the Port of New York Authority in 1927 and was nicknamed the Hudson River Bridge until the residents of New York and New Jersey voted for its current name in 1931, the year that it was opened to the public.
