The George Washington Bridge stands high above the Hudson River, its eastern end resting on the shores of Manhattan, its western end embedded in the wooded bluffs of New Jersey's Palisades. Twice as long as any previous suspension bridge, it was the marvel of its time and, to some, it will always be the noblest of all bridges. Spanning the river to link New York City and New Jersey had challenged planners and engineers for over 100 years before Othmar Ammann, the brilliant, Swiss-born architect and engineer, proposed a bridge design in 1923 that ultimately was chosen above all others.
This live camera captures the George Washington Bridge from the Manhattan side, offering a dramatic view of its iconic suspension tower and the multiple highway approach ramps that feed into the bridge. Watch traffic flow across one of the world's busiest bridges, observe the Hudson River below, and enjoy the distinctive architectural lines that have made the GWB an engineering and aesthetic landmark for nearly a century. Perfect for traffic monitoring, bridge photography enthusiasts, or simply enjoying a panoramic view of one of New York's most recognizable structures.
