I synched this video (audio off) with Sinatra singing "Young At Heart" and suddenly I was reliving my college years and my wonderful trips to Manhattan. For some reason I remember most of those days being overcast.
Man, I wish it wasn't so foggy so we could see the awesome skyline! I really would like to see another video of I-495 westbound heading towards Manhattan. The best views in the world!
Thank you for your kind thoughts. My girlfriend and I each lost a parent before she died (mother and father respectively) one month apart. I still think of her every day. Best wishes, P
This is the Bridge filmed in the Opening Credits of the Taxi TV Series 1978 to 1983. Actor Tony Danza drove a Cab across the Bridge filming it in 1978.
@@grantorino2325 That is because the City owns those bridges. The rest of the major bridges and tunnels in NYC are owned by either the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority or by the Port Authority and not the city. They are both private enterprises and the reason why they have tolls, and pricey tolls at that, lol!
@@samuelbotelhodocanal-oakla4813 The toll on the George Washington bridge (eastbound only) is $16 if paying in *cash* , $13.75 if using *EZ PASS peak* , and $11.75 if using *EZ PASS off-peak* . Westbound, though, it's *free* , since nobody really *wants* to go to New Jersey. 😁
The upper level is perfect, the lower level is good, but they didn’t do the lower level, and the eastbound only outer level is the worst, they never drove the outer level, because it’s the section ever, and it’s a scary one. They should called the eastbound outer level, the nightmare level.
Make sure to bring 15 dollars, its worth it! Smooth hands

No congestion on the Queensboro Bridge? It’s a bloody miracle!
I'm amazed at the lack of traffic !
We used to take this ride to Sloan Kettering every week day the previous summer. May 22, 2011 was the very day she died.
Peter M I know the feeling. I use to go see my daddy on Roosevelt Island my last day was August 19, 1979. Sorry for your lost.

I wish this bridge was connected to I-495, that way, the Long Island Expressway would be connected.
@leonardwilson85Thanks Leonard, BTW Have you actually been there?
15 dollars please.
The Queensboro Bridge doesn't have a toll, actually.
Neither do the Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Williamsburg Bridges.

Now all you need is the taxi theme song
The lower deck is more romantic.
It’s even more romantic under the bridge.
The upper level is perfect, the lower level is good, but they didn’t do the lower level, and the eastbound only outer level is the worst, they never drove the outer level, because it’s the section ever, and it’s a scary one. They should called the eastbound outer level, the nightmare level.
They have pedestrian walkway there, don't they?
marcello silva yes
It's nice and wide.
Brandon Johnson it’s on the other side, and the outer level goes to Queens which is still a scary ride.
Cue the "Taxi" theme.
hideous bridge
