From this angle, Fort Lee–birthplace of the motion-picture industry– looks quite pristine. Yes, that’s the west tower of the GW Bridge. Am I correct in thinking the marketing name of the twin towers in the distance is the Moderns 1 and 2?
And on the subject of “towers” that Ocean Tower, a name I never know how to pronounce, as I first raised the question here over nine years ago.
Here’s the tow I saw last week.
Judging from the barge name TZC-102, these bridge supports will undergird parts of the TZ Bridge, the completion of this huge project will soon transform into a huge sale of assets.
And where are these supports pre-cast?
