Love your enthusiasm for New Jersey, Chris. You make me homesick, till I remember the astronomical property tax bills...

Right 🤣 expensive, crowded, and crazy laws. We moved from NJ to the south a few years ago and loving it.

Thank-you Chris for sharing beautiful views of that bridge! Take care and be safe out there!!!!!!

[@cjpowjg]

If you've ever seen Cop Land this is where they filmed a couple of scenes below the bridge.

[@samanthab1923]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@RhondaA]

Yep that's exactly what I was going to say. The setting for "Garrison NJ". Fantastic movie.

[@MS-yy2dh]

The bridge was really interesting to see.

[@ericsikma4764]

Chris: Did you happen to catch that? Had to do a double-take on THIS end LOL! Your very first words to start the video: "Look how amazing this is..." Watching the traffic, it's at that EXACT same time when you were saying that was when a semi-truck was going over the bridge and on the side of the trailer in huge lettering was the word "AMAZING". I gotta see that again. That was cool! Hehe!

[@Michael666CA]

YESS that was, MIKE'S AMAZING cool you cought that

[@ericsikma4764]

@@Michael666CA Much too funny! LOL!

[@nickcef]

I ride my bike a lot on the NY side. There's a dedicated bike trail that starts in Battery Park in Lower Manhattan and runs all the way past and under the GW Bridge, ending up in Spuyten Duyvil at the northern tip of Manhattan. You can spend a whole day just doing that entire coastline.

[@MobileInstinct2]

I've seen parts of that bike trail. I actually tried to park to see that light house but couldn't find any spots haha

[@nickcef]

@@MobileInstinct2 Yeah, the bike trail is right by the old red lighthouse. Better to probably take the train from Secaucus into the city, rent a Citibike and head up to the lighthouse. Safest bet, I think.

[@samanthab1923]

We always looked for the rock with the Big C when crossing the Henry Hudson. Very cool

[@Mvcrash]

You can ride over the bridge on the walkway to the Hudson River bikeway and ride to the Battery or to the Cloisters. I used to make the ride on weekends all the time.

[@TonyPartington]

Hey Chris! Wonderful video!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I spent my early childhood in Teaneck, NJ and my Dad, being in the professional theatre, always took the bridge into the city for shows, rehearsals, etc. And as a kid, I had a copy of the book THE LITTLE RED LIGHTHOUSE. I remember trying to look down and see the lighthouse whenever we'd go across the bridge. Gosh, it's so tiny, isn't it? Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia and for sharing your work and art with us. All the very best!

[@scottl8137]

From where youre standing it doesnt even look like a double deck bridge until u look close at the 2nd railing... been over that bridge many times and its always a hectic enduro type race with no space left unfilled where the rule of rubbing is racing seems to happen there too

[@samanthab1923]

The lower level wasn’t opened till ‘62.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

I've been on the George Washington bridge with my husband when he drove truck otr. Its scary from a semi being up so high

[@houseofsolomon2440]

Been over it many times - always was curious @ an up-close, slow look at it. Thank you!

[@tumsfestival]

Thank you for the up close look at an important landmark and its history. Wonder why that bathhouse was abandoned.

[@johncallery814]

The area he was used as a Campground before construction of the bridge. When the bridge was built the Campground area was used to house the bridge workers. I think it opened up again once the bridge was built, but the water quality was very bad and no one wanted to swim in the Hudson. But the water quality is improving so maybe one day they will truck in some sand and allow folks to swim again like they did one hundred years ago.

[@johnculhane438]

There is a completely bizarre old place called The Kearney House down by the water right in the park. Not sure if it reopened after COVID. It was an olde ghostly tavern and a home from 1760. Worth looking up if you are down there. There are some very olde pictures online as well.

[@clearviewtechnical]

8:02 Cement is one ingredient of CONCRETE. It is a gray ground powder and nothing is ever built with it alone. It is added to sand, aggregate, water and usually several additives to become CONCRETE.

I live in N.J 15 minutes away from the G.W. Bridge. Her in New Jersey we call it The "G.W." I have been in the park under it where BIG was filmed TWICE in my life. ONLY twice !.....I am 69 yrs. old

[@thomasfreeman7770]

What you say about the anchorage is true. My grandfather worked on the NJ side. They drilled and blasted down into the palisades. I think I remember him saying about 700 feet. Also like you say the NY side is anchored into a massive monolithic pour of concrete at about 180th street in Manhattan. Being held in place only by its sheer massive weight. I was raised in that area and always liked visiting palisades interstate park and would access the park from the road going down the cliff from the top of the palisades ave hill in Englewood at the palisades interstate parkway.

[@michaellang8408]

No Shit, I just bought myself an electric scooter and it almost looks like the same one. And I already planned to use it for filming, it's for getting to work basically, but I really like the footage you shot while riding it. Also great vlog as always. I'm glad to know the scooter will be my dolly..

The cliffs of the Hudson River go far north past Albany (the NY capital)… lived off of GSP exits 168-172 (Westwood/Montvale NJ), as well as in the NY border towns of Nanuet, Nyack, South Nyack and Piermont…. The drive south is n the palisades parkway, at night, as you come over the darken hillsides and are suddenly presented with the GW bridge and all of urban NYC and NJ (fort Lee,etc) lit up like the Las Vegas strip, is an awe inspiring initial view of the big Apple

My guess is toothpicks. But for real its made of steel

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

According to Wikipedia, "The bridge's construction required 113,000 short tons (101,000 long tons; 103,000 t) of fabricated steel; 28,000 short tons (25,000 long tons; 25,000 t) of wire, stretching 106,000 miles (171,000 km); and 20,000 short tons (18,000 long tons; 18,000 t) of masonry." Wow 😅

I cant speak for that spot in particular but I grew up in the area, the nearby Rockefeller and alpine lookouts on the palisades parkway not too far north from there do get sketchy at night fs. I wouldn’t be too surprised if that was the case here, though it’s not as secluded as the parkway lookouts

[@marcellocolona4980]

I believe the park is formally closed at sunset. The area is patrolled by the Palidades Interstate Parkway Police. There is a nice historical museum on site.

Yeah I would imagine it's closed at night.
