Explore the extensive restoration of the George Washington Bridge through an exclusive video tour on ENR.com.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recently invited ENR editors to experience the project firsthand, highlighting the bridge's upgrade from various perspectives—above, below, and across.
Project Overview
This ambitious project, spanning over a decade, focuses on rehabilitating the main cables and installing a dehumidification system designed to reduce corrosion risks. Additionally, 592 suspender ropes are being replaced to enhance structural integrity.
Additional Improvements
Improvements extend beyond the cables, including security enhancements, increased mobility, and safety upgrades to the approaches and sidewalks along the bridge. The construction team has carefully conducted these modifications while maintaining continuous traffic flow on one of the world's most active river crossings.
