FORT LEE -- The Port Authority said it will take immediate action to ensure that an unsafe area of the George Washington Bridge remains off-limits to pedestrians, as police continued investigating how a woman walked into the area and injured herself earlier Saturday morning. Christina McQuaid, 26, of Leonia broke an ankle after getting her foot stuck in a grate in the catwalk area of the bridge's lower level, spokesman Steve Coleman said. Unlike the upper level of the bridge, the lower level has no sidewalks and is closed to pedestrian traffic. The catwalk along the side of the roadway is used by employees performing maintenance work, Coleman said.
