George Washington Bridge. The George Washington Bridge â known informally as the GW Bridge,[4] the GWB,[5] the GW,[6] or the George[7] â is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River between the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey.
The 1830 bridge was torn down in 1884, and a new structure built which opened in 1889. The Washington abutment still survives and is located west of the Key Bridge. One pier remains and is located in the river near the Virginia shore. Proposals were made to replace Aqueduct Bridge as early as 1901. But these proposals were delayed when the McMillan Plan was issued in 1902.
