George Washington Bridge bicycle/walking path restrictions
Port Authority to Restrict George Washington Bridge Bicycling/Walking Path Hours

Citing security concerns and lack of resources, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced last week that, starting on Sunday, August 29, it will close the George Washington Bridge bicycling and walking path overnight:



September 3-Until Further Notice: Closed Midnight-6 am

To mitigate the effect of the closure, the Port Authority has asked bus companies operating out of the bridge bus terminal on the Manhattan side of the bridge to accommodate bicycles when the path is closed.


For questions or comments on this issue, you can reach the Port Authority at 800-221-9903 or www.panynj.gov/rfframe.HTM.
