Week 27

The Bridges of Upper Manhattan

Our walk this week traverses the many bridges that connect Manhattan to all parts east. Starting with the Ed Koch/Queensboro bridge, we snake through Randalls Island before systematically tackling the nine bridges that connect Upper Manhattan to the Bronx. Not included in this map due to route revision constraints are both the walk over the Third Avenue Bridge and the 2.5 miles from Henry Hudson Park to the train at 181st Street.

Neighborhoods Fort George, Inwood, Marble Hill, Washington Heights, Harlem, University Heights, Highbridge, Mott Haven, Randalls Island, Upper East Side, Yorkville, Roosevelt Island, Long Island City, Greenpoint, East Williamsburg, Bushwick
