The George Washington Bridge is the bridge that connects the state of New Jersey to New York City and vice versa. The side of the bridge that is on the New Jersey side is home to the small town known as Fort lee and on the other side (the New York side) it is known as the neighborhood of Washington Heights. The bridge is known to have different color schemes, depending on which national holiday or cause it is commemorating. On the night that I travelled on it, to get back from New Jersey to the city (Sunday 9/18), the bridge was lit up in the classic white bulbs that it usually portrays. The George Washington Bridge is a beautiful bridge that has two decks to drive on- the upper level and the lower level. On both decks of the bridge there are bicycle lanes on both sides, where you can usually see people jogging, biking, or just hanging out. The bridge is usually congested with traffic during the moments of rush hour but during other times of the day it usually moves pretty fast. If you are driving fr
om New Jersey into New York, you will have magnificent view of the New York City Skyscrapers and if you are driving from New York to New Jersey, well you get to see New Jersey (as magnificent as that may be). The bridge also spans the Hudson River where you can see a multitude of boats floating on the water.
