Here, two great bridges extend like steel arms across the Hudson and Harlem Rivers: the George Washington Bridge to the west, a modern marvel completed in 1931, and the High Bridge to the east, New York’s oldest surviving bridge and a relic of 19th-century ambition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/50d07860-260c-49a6-a69e-cb3d6a919207/Water+Tunnel Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - One of the defining forces that shaped Washington Heights—literally and figuratively—was New York City’s 19th-century push for clean, reliable water. In the early 1800s, Lower Manhattan suffered frequent epidemics due to contaminated wells and poor sanitation. Droves of diseases, including the 1832 cholera epidemic that killed around 3,500 people, wreaked havoc on the overcrowded city. The solution was ambitious and unprecedented: bring fresh water from upstate via an aqueduct system to the Big—albeit thirsty—Apple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/9b8a6065-c72c-4315-9c24-d525e0e6375d/High+Bridge+illustration Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch The High Bridge is New York City’s oldest surviving bridge and a remarkable feat of 19th-century engineering. It was built as part of the Croton Aqueduct system, which transported fresh water from the Croton River in Westchester County. The bridge was designed in the style of a Roman aqueduct, featuring 15 stone arches that spanned the Harlem River. It stood 140 feet above the river and extended over 1,450 feet across. As well as being a lifesaver, the bridge was praised for its classical beauty when it was completed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/1848482b-47ce-4fda-b9bb-a9cea0f2ebf4/Present-day+High+Bridge Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/72268d31-3bc7-4cfa-96ec-9e1592be5043/Water+Tower Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/52649903-ba39-4049-8625-5c9aee566cf7/Inside+the+High+Bridge+Tower Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/4150b94b-790f-4e7a-87f3-0bdd23884364/Harlem+River+view Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/4979da58-19f8-4e45-8f44-efc37b72ebc3/GB+Bridge Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/dfc0521d-fc2d-4b36-bafb-605183809206/Building+the+GB+Bridge Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/cb6ebc80-39bb-4d06-83d1-6d413bb6044a/1962+GB+Bridge+Lower+Deck+opens Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - In 1962, a lower deck was added to accommodate increased traffic, nicknamed “Martha” in reference to George Washington’s wife. At the opening ceremony on August 29th, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes were in attendance. The lower deck addition made the George Washington Bridge the world’s only 14-lane suspension bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/b9d6a315-dd41-4ac1-bed5-fd3bd10d4d96/Little+Red+Lighthouse Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f221682b317b11c0ebcdd11/64ff38c3-9aaa-4f76-9f67-4c1ce365a36e/The+Little+Red+Lighthouse+book Stories from the City Blog - The Arms of Washington Heights: Bridges That Reach, Towers That Watch - When the George Washington Bridge was completed in 1931, the lighthouse, now cast in the shadow of the towering, beaming span, no longer served a purpose.
