Basically it's simple in its conception. There are four main cables that go over two towers. The towers are about 600 feet in height. |
Each cable is about 3-feet in diameter, and within the cables are thin strings of wire that actually make up the cable themselves. |
When the bridge first opened, October 25, 1931, that first year, 5.5 million vehicles used the bridge. Last year 110 million vehicles used the bridge. |
Working at the George Washington Bridge was probably the best job I ever had. |
