One of the most recognizable structures… In the metropolitan area is also one of the most important. The George Washington Bridge (GWB), a vital passage connecting New York City and New Jersey, helps people in the community arrive at work, visit family and friends, and enjoy the great experiences our region has to offer - THE NUTS AND BOLTS The two-level GWB spans the Hudson River between the upper Manhattan (West 178th Street) and Fort Lee, New Jersey. This suspension bridge was designed by Othmar H. Ammann, the Port Authority’s Chief Engineer at the time. Ground was broken for the original six-lane bridge in October 1927, and the Port Authority opened the bridge to traffic on October 25, 1931. Subsequently, in 1946, two additional lanes were added to the upper level. The lower level was opened on August 29, 1962, providing six lanes for traffic. These additional lanes increased the capacity of the bridge by 75 percent, making the GWB the world’s only 14-lane suspension bridge. Today, seventy-three years after its inception, it is now one of the world’s busiest bridges - SYMBOL OF FREEDOM The GWB is the proud home of the world’s largest free-flying United States flag. The flag, which is located under the upper arch of the New Jersey tower, drapes vertically for 90 feet, and flies freely, responding to breezes from the Hudson River or Palisades. The flag’s stripes are approximately five feet wide, and the stars measure about four feet in diameter. - CONSTANT ENHANCEMENTS Since its opening to traffic in 1931, the steel elements of the GWB has been regularly repainted to provide protection from rust and corrosion. - CONNECTING ROADWAYS In New Jersey, the roadways leading to the bridge provide the flexibility for motorists to use either the upper or lower level. Two four-lane approach and departure roadways connect to the upper level, with connections to and from the lower level via two three-lane tunnels through the Palisades. The towers and suspended structure contain more than 43,000 tons of steel.

No amount of protection around the bridge pillars can work as these ships are way way too big, There should be tug boats hauling them in narrow lanes in and out of the ports into the open ocean. No ship propulsion should be relied upon. Why is it that hard? #shipping #cruiseships #cargoships

The main ship channel to the Port of Baltimore has been fully cleared of debris and was reopened Monday evening, 11 weeks after a cargo ship lost power and struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The Fort McHenry Channel had been blocked since March 26, when the container ship Dali lost power and crashed into one of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s support piers, knocking it over and killing six construction workers who were filling potholes on the roadway. #squarelogistic #quotes #squarelogisticsolutionsllc #freightbroker #freightforwarding #shippingsolutions #freightservices #freight #logistics #transportation #shipping #transportation #logisticsmanagement
