Bridge across the Hudson

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: A bridge across the Hudson River opposite Manhattan Island was a dream that started in the early 19th century. Many giants of civil engineering, including Gustav Lindenthal and Othmar Ammann, were involved in planning such a bridge but it was not until 1931 that Ammann’s George Washington Bridge crossed the river. This paper covers the period from 1805 to 1935.
