New Signs on GWB Will Help Drivers Navigate

FORT LEE, N.J. (AP) —

Motorists traveling over the George Washington Bridge are seeing new signs designed to help smooth their trip.

The Port Authority says it recently completed two projects to put up 15 variable message signs on both sides of the bridge. The signs can provide up-to-date information on traffic conditions, travel times and alternate routes.

The Port Authority, which operates the bridge, approved the “smart sign” projects in 2012.
