Working at the George Washington Bridge was probably the best job I ever had.

Basically it's simple in its conception. There are four main cables that go over two towers. The towers are about 600 feet in height.

When the bridge first opened, October 25, 1931, that first year, 5.5 million vehicles used the bridge. Last year 110 million vehicles used the bridge.

Each cable is about 3-feet in diameter, and within the cables are thin strings of wire that actually make up the cable themselves.

This game is over - dead as George Washington . We've got to keep moving on.

On Monday, you name a writer from the Washington Post, and he was probably standing in our offices. Before that, probably half of them didn't know how to get here.
