Alexander Hamilton Bridge, Steel deck arch bridge over Harlem River, Manhattan and The Bronx, United States.
The Alexander Hamilton Bridge extends 724 meters across the Harlem River with eight traffic lanes connecting Manhattan's Washington Heights to The Bronx.
The bridge construction began in the mid-1950s with federal funding and opened in 1963 to accommodate increased traffic from the George Washington Bridge.
The structure stands as an example of mid-20th century engineering, documented by the Historic American Engineering Record and preserved in Library of Congress collections.
The bridge serves as part of Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1, connecting the Trans-Manhattan Expressway with the Cross Bronx Expressway for daily commuters.
The bridge underwent a $400 million renovation in 2009, featuring spiral ramps known as the Highbridge Interchange connecting to the Major Deegan Expressway.
