[George Washington Bridge and Hudson River, New York City.
Caption on the back reads: One of the main highways between New York and New Jersey. The bridge was completed in 1932 at a cost of over $60,000,000. The main span is 3500 feet long. It enters Manhattan at 178th Street and connects over ramps with beautiful Riverside Drive.]
These postcards of New York City bridges are possibly from 1948 or 1949 given their position with respect to other similar postcards in the collection that were mailed and have '48 and '49 postmarks. I'll post those others once I get them scanned.
