EDITORS COMMENTS
Washington Bridge, spanning the Harlem River in New York City, is an architectural marvel that carries six lanes of roadway and a walkway for pedestrians between Manhattan and The Bronx. This iconic arch bridge, opened on December 1, 1888, is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. With a total length of 2,375 feet (724 m) and a longest span of 510 feet (160 m), the bridge offers a clearance below of 134 feet (41 m). The bridge's design, reminiscent of Paris's Eiffel Tower, was a modern marvel in the late 19th century, connecting the bustling metropolis of Manhattan with its growing borough, The Bronx. Maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation, Washington Bridge remains an essential part of the city's infrastructure, serving commuters and tourists alike. This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures the bridge in its early days, showcasing the grandeur and beauty of this engineering feat. Part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection from the Boswell collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, this image offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the rich history and evolution of New York City.
