Bridge Apartments, Residential tower complex in Washington Heights, Manhattan, US.
The Bridge Apartments comprise four 32-story buildings positioned directly above the Trans-Manhattan Expressway near the George Washington Bridge entrance.
Construction of the residential towers started in December 1961 after Kratter Corporation purchased air rights above the expressway from New York City for 1 million dollars.
The architectural firm Brown & Guenther incorporated aluminum sheathing into the buildings, marking an early implementation of this material in high-rise construction.
The complex contains 960 apartment units distributed across four buildings, with each structure housing approximately 240 residences for middle-income families.
Senator Robert F. Kennedy visited the property in 1967 to address resident concerns about pollution from the 150,000 vehicles passing underneath daily.
