And a major piece of the Restoring the George project is officially complete.

The Port Authority today installed the last new steel suspender rope on the 93 year old George Washington Bridge.

Now, the original rope suspend from the bridge's four main cables that hold up the two roadway levels, replacing all 592 of them was no easy feat, as you might imagine.

The project began in 2018 and required crews to put in temporary cables where suspender ropes were being replaced to take the load off of the old ones.

All while hundreds of thousands of cars passed over daily.

This project is part of a larger $2 billion plan to restore and repair of the nearly century old bridge, which is still a primary Hudson River crossing all these years later.

The rest of the repair projects are scheduled to be finished by the end of 2029.

Port authority officials today said the work is expected to extend the life of the bridge for another 90 years.

So what we've done by replacing the suspender ropes and the rehabilitation of the cables, things that have never been done before and the structural rehabilitation essentially rebuilt the bridge.

We're not closing down traffic.

We want to go another century.

Not only is this bridge important transportation wise in the tri state area, but it's iconic around the world.
