ALERT – List Of NYC Streets, Highways, Bridges Closed For ‘The Five Boro Bike Tour’


A commuter alert: Drivers should expect street closures Sunday due to the Five Boro Bike Tour.

Over 30,000 riders will bike 40 miles around New York City.

The tour starts in Lower Manhattan and takes riders across five major bridges and across the New York Harbor on the Staten Island Ferry.

Thanks to proceeds from the event, Bike New York offers free bike skills to thousands of kids and adults every year with a focus on underserved communities, making it the largest free bike education program in the country.

Here is the list of closures that will be in effect until 6 p.m.

VERRAZANO BRIDGE

There will be a partial closure of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Sunday to accommodate the event. Motorists are advised by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to expect delays.

The Staten Island-bound lower level will be closed from 12:01 a.m. until 6 p.m. Sunday. Additionally, one Brooklyn-bound lane on the lower level will be closed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The tour heads north through the heart of Central Park and continues on to Harlem and the Bronx before returning south along the East River on the FDR Drive.

From there, cyclists cross into Queens and then into Brooklyn, where riders take over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, before a heart-pumping climb up, and a thrilling ride down the breathtaking Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and into the Finish Festival in Fort Wadsworth.
