Bridge Apartments
The Bridge Apartments are four high-rise apartment buildings in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. Built between 1961 and 1964, they are notable for rising from concrete platforms directly above the Trans-Manhattan Expressway on its approach to the George Washington Bridge. Their proximity to the highway has led residents to complain of traffic noise and air pollution. The four buildings, each 32 stories tall, house about 4,000 people in total.
