George Washington Bridge: Organization, Construction Procedure, and Contract Provisions
For the design and construction of the George Washington Bridge, simultaneously with other large bridge projects, The Port of New York Authority built up a large engineering organization. In its development, and also in arranging the program of the construction work, the basic aim was to secure flexibility, which would permit efficient handling of the complex problems involved and would insure rapid construction. This paper contains a review of the preliminary steps leading to the creation of the engineering organization, and describes briefly the organization and its method of carrying on the work, the construction program developed for the building of the George Washington Bridge, the procedure followed in handling construction contracts, and the outstanding provisions of the construction contracts and specifications.
