Trans-Manhattan Expressway

The Trans-Manhattan Expressway, also known as the George Washington Bridge Expressway, is an east–west limited-access highway in New York City. It traverses Manhattan at one of its narrowest points, running for 1.38 miles (2.22 km) in a depressed channel through the Washington Heights neighborhood. The highway connects the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge over the Harlem River, where it becomes the Cross Bronx Expressway. The expressway is designated as a portion of Interstate 95 (I-95) and is often considered to be part of the Cross Bronx Expressway.
