NYC ALERT: Street And Bridge Closures Sunday For Five Boro Bike Tour

The Five Boro Bike Tour is returning Sunday, with tens of thousands of cyclists expected to attend the 40-mile charity ride to raise funds for free bike education programming. The city will shut down major thoroughfares to facilitate the ride Sunday, including portions of the FDR Drive, the BQE, the Ed Koch-Queensboro Bridge, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The city estimates 32,000 cyclists will take part in the ride. The 40-mile tour begins in Lower Manhattan, traveling north into the Bronx, before heading to Queens, Brooklyn and, ultimately, crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and concluding in St. George near the Staten Island Ferry. The Staten Island-bound lower level of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge will be closed on Sunday from 12:01 a.m. to 7 p.m. The upper level of the bridge will remain open in both directions throughout the entirety of the event. Streets will be closed beginning at 7 a.m., and some will stay closed as late as 7 p.m. Here’s a complete list of street closures for the tour: Manhattan Portion: Greenwich Street between Battery Place and Morris Street Trinity Place between Morris Street and Liberty Street Church Street between Liberty Street and Canal Street Chambers Street between Broadway and West Broadway Worth Street between Broadway and West Broadway Canal Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue 6th Avenue between Franklin Street and West 59th Street West 59th Street between 6th Avenue and 5th Avenue Grand Army Plaza between West 59th Street and East Drive East Drive between Grand Army Plaza and Center Drive Center Drive between 5th Avenue and East Drive East Drive between Center Drive and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard between West 110th Street and West 135th Street East / West 135th Street between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and Madison Avenue Madison Avenue between East 135th Street and East 138th Street Madison Avenue Bridge (Bronx-bound) Peter Minuit Plaza between State Street and South Street Whitehall Street between South Street and Water Street State Street between Whitehall Street and Battery Place Battery Place between State Street and West Street Morris Street between Broadway and Greenwich Street Albany Street between West Street and Greenwich Street Greenwich Street between Rector Street and Cedar Street West Broadway between Vesey Street and Barclay Street West Broadway between Murray Street and Warren Street Rector Street between Broadway and Greenwich Street Cedar Street between Broadway and Greenwich Street Liberty Street between Broadway and Greenwich Street Dey Street between Broadway and Church Street Vesey Street between West Street and West Broadway Barclay Street between Broadway and West Broadway Warren Street between West Street and West Broadway Murray Street between Broadway and West Broadway Duane Street between Broadway and West Broadway Thomas Street between Broadway and West Broadway Leonard Street between Broadway and West Broadway Franklin Street between Broadway and West Broadway White Street between Broadway and West Broadway Walker Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue Lispenard Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue Bronx Portion: 138th Street between Madison Avenue Bridge and 3rd Avenue 3rd Avenue between 138th Street and 3rd Avenue Bridge Rider Avenue between 138th Street and 137th Street 137th Street between Rider Avenue and 3rd Avenue 3rd Avenue Bridge (Manhattan-bound) Manhattan Portion (Continued): Harlem River Drive / FDR Drive (Southbound) between 3rd Avenue Bridge and East 116th Street East 116th […]
