GWB Delays Expected Next Week

Delays on the George Washington Bridge could last most of the weekend due to a major repair work of the Trans-Manhattan Expressway connector ramp.

The ramp connects the George Washington Bridge and Harlem River Drive. The southbound side of the roadway, which runs from the bridge to Harlem River Drive, will be closed beginning midnight Saturday through 8 a.m. Monday.

One lane of the northbound side, which runs to the bridge, will also be closed during that time.

Motorists heading south may use the Henry Hudson Parkway or go over the Alexander Hamilton Bridge to the Major Deegan Expressway.

Motorists heading north can continue on the Harlem River Drive to Dyckman Street and then to 179th Street to access the George Washington Bridge. The bridge can also be accessed heading north on Amsterdam Avenue.
