On our journey from New Jersey to Mystic Connecticut we drove across the double-decked suspension bridge of just under a mile crossing the Hudson River. The bridge is the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, regularly carrying an annual traffic volume of over 100 million vehicles. It is also the world's only suspension bridge with 14 vehicle lanes. It was the longest main bridge span in the world from 1931 until the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco opened in 1937.

The bridge was an amazing piece of engineering, but plan to take the day to get across because of the heavy traffic and be prepared for the cost. I guess there are trying to discourage people from driving across, but even at $20 for a visitor it doesn't seem to be working. The trouble with the heavy traffic that the driver has to concentrate on the traffic and can't enjoy the view.

After walking across Brooklyn & Roosevelt Bridge I thought I might tackle George Washington Bridge to New Jersey. It was much longer than the other Bridges but the view from it was exceptionally good, great feeling of achievement after I finally finished crossing it. I chose to take a bus down to the ferry terminal then took a ferry across the Hudson River back to NYC.

A very important link between New Jersey and New York. It carries I-95 and links New England with the Mid-Atlantic states. As a result, this bridge is often clogged with traffic especially as you travel East and into the very congest Cross-Bronx Expressway. The bridge is big and is high above the Hudson River.
