NYC Bridge Report

NYC Bridge Conditions

We were all pretty upset during the winter months of 2009 when we rode out the door on a sunny day to find that roads were plowed clear of snow and ice but bridge crossings were not rideable. Thank you to T.A. advocates and the MTA for a brilliant bikes on subway policy for those kinds of mornings!

The nycbridegreport is our way of letting cyclists know about conditions that might prevent an otherwise excellent commute. It relies on early morning bike commuters who don't mind being the guinea pigs to get the word out.

[note: this feed is most active during snowy and icy months, but you can also expect important construction updates during the warmer months].
