The longest suspension bridge in the USA was the George Washington Bridge in New York City. This was then superseded by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco but the 'Big Apple' got its crown back when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964.

The George Washington Bridge was indeed the longest suspension bridge in the USA when it opened in 1931. The Golden Gate Bridge surpassed it when it opened in 1937, but the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (opened 1964) became the new longest, returning the title to New York. All three bridges held the record sequentially, making the statement true.
