Caption: "George Washington Bridge, Crossing the Hudson River, N.Y. Sept. 3, 1934." This suspension bridge, designed by Othmar Ammann, spans the Hudson River between Manhattan in New York City, and Fort Lee, New Jersey. Constructed between 1927 and 1931, the bridge included the longest main span in the world at the time, a record it held until construction of the Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937. It was originally built with only one deck (as seen in this photograph), but a second deck opened in 1962. Still in active use today, it carried over 51 million vehicles in 2016.
