The George Washington Bridge
The George Washington Bridge
is home to the world's largest free-flying American flag.
The flag, which is located under the upper arch of the New Jersey tower, drapes vertically
for 90 feet and flies freely, responding to breezes from the Hudson River or Palisades.
The flag's stripes are approximately 5 feet wide
and the stars measure about 4 feet in diameter.
Weather permitting, the flag is flown on the following eight holidays:
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day.
