George Washington Bridge. The George Washington Bridge â known informally as the GW Bridge,[4] the GWB,[5] the GW,[6] or the George[7] â is a double-decked suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River between the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey.
That name was the popular choice, chosen over a host of other proposed names as well as the Port Authority's preference for the name George Washington Bridge, based on 1931 ballot voting submitted to the Port Authority by New York and New Jersey residents. However, the Port Authority named the bridge after George Washington that year.
