Posted by Joe on Tue May 30 21:11:58 2017, in response to GW Bridge buses in early years, posted by Joe on Sat May 20 18:55:54 2017. The link below is a 1934 photo apparently taken from the top floor of a building on Fort Washington Avenue. The GW Bridge has already been open for three years, and oil drips mar the roadways. The roofs of two buses can be seen in the lower right, where I believe a passenger shelter was built about that year. By 1940 the center area would include a dip and curve into the 178th Street tunnel. Each few years this plaza arrangement would see modifications. The center two lanes of the bridge would not be paved until 1946. At the right, a police booth can be seen where westbound traffic off 179th Street would face a merge with traffic moving up from Riverside Drive. On dedication day, 88 traffic policeman demonstrated their arm signals in unison.--- Link |
