Location #10: George Washington Bridge

In May of 1973, Documerica photographer Chester Higgins took this photo of the George Washington Bridge in thick smog, just about blocking the view of the New Jersey side of the Hudson River.

In New York City? Or on the opposite Jersey Shore? Snap a photo and submit it to State of the Environment, with a link to this photo as inspiration and you could be our next featured “Then & Now” entry!  Has air quality improved in the area since ’73? Your camera can help tell the story!
