	George Washington Bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially named the "Hudson River Bridge," the bridge is named in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States of America.
		The Bridge is near the sites of Fort Washington (on the New York side) and Fort Lee (in New Jersey), which were fortified positions used by General Washington and his American forces in his unsuccessful attempt to deter the British occupation of New York City in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War.
		When it opened, the bridge had the longest main span in the world; at 1067 m (3500 ft), it nearly doubled the previous record of 564 m (1850 ft), which had been held by the Ambassador Bridge.

		The bridge was opened in 1936, and the traffic was so heavy, the bondholders unanimously approved the addition of a second deck, doubling the capacity of the bridge.
		The location of the bridge is the outlet of Lake Ontario, where 1700 tiny islands are the only remains of the oldest land known to man, the "outcroppings of the Laurentian mountain range, worn down during untold ages by the effect of rain, frost, snow and rivers" (Ratigan 232).
		When the bridge was hit with wind from an angle, the main span would begin to oscillate up and down, likened to a man's chest when breathing.

		The Fred Hartman Bridge near Houston, Texas is a cable-stayed bridge with a very unusual double-diamond design for its pylons, each of the two roadways passing through the widest part of each diamond.
		The longest bridges in the world, with an overall length of nearly twenty-four miles each, are the two parallel bridges (each being actually made up of over two thousand of smaller spans) across Lake Pontchartrain, connecting the city of New Orleans to I-12 and Covington.
		The bridge, which opened in 1951, is the replacement for the famous original suspension bridge which collapsed due to resonance in winds of only 40 miles per hour a few months after its completion in 1940.
