First opened in 1931, the George Washington Bridge remains structurally sound and vital today, a tribute to the Port Authority’s commitment to ongoing maintenance and investment to address the wear-and-tear and renewal of this 93-year-old crossing. The “Restoring the George” program comprises over $2 billion in investment in 11 state-of-good repair projects that will maintain the structural health of the facility over the next decade for the millions of customers who use it every year. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s Tunnels, Bridges & Terminals team will present a brief history of the bridge and showcase current projects, including the recently completed North Walk.
