A newborn's cries joined the George Washington Bridge's usual chorus of honking horns and rushing cars.
Police officers helped deliver the baby girl Saturday morning near the toll booths of the busy span linking North Jersey and New York City.
Port Authority police say the girl's parents from Monroe, New York were in a Manhattan-bound taxi when her mother went into labor around 6:30 a.m.
Four officers aided in the delivery.
Officer Laverne Watson received the baby and Officer Steve Pisciotta clamped and cut the umbilical cord.
Pisciotta's a trained emergency medical technician and carries an obstetric kit in his medical bag with the necessary instruments.
An ambulance later took the mother and baby to New York University Medical Center.
