Pink Lights: GWB and WTC Will Glow For Breast Cancer Awareness

Two of New York’s most iconic structures – the George Washington Bridge and the spire on One World Trade Center – will glow pink on Tuesday evening to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the 408-foot-tall spire on One World Trade Center will be lit pink beginning at 6:27 p.m.

In addition, the 156 LED necklace lights on the George Washington Bridge also will glow pink and remain that color throughout the month of October.

In a media advisory, Port Authority officials stated that the spire on the One World Trade Center can be photographed from any of the streets surrounding the site, including Church, Liberty, Greenwich and Vesey streets.

The George Washington Bridge’s necklace lighting can be filmed at either of the following New Jersey locations:

• Fort Lee Historic Park, off Hudson Terrace just south of the bridge.
• Rockefeller Overlook, north of Exit 1 on the Palisades Interstate Parkway North.
