NJDOT has indicated the overall length of the bridge structures to be 3.5 miles (5.6 km) and identified the Hudson County section as 14,900 feet (4,500 m) long. Entering Holland Tunnel we drove into New Jersey state towards Piscataway, NJ to laid my beloved family member to rest. The ride was smooth without any bumps and has nice visual scenic views of NY and NJ landscape. I give credence to the name "The Skyway" for the scenic view. Our funeral driver appeared very experienced with directional compass finder and locations. Fortunately traffic segue moderately for a Friday afternoon of January 2022 as our funeral car hearse err on the side of caution carrying a body in a casket. The Pulaski Skyway's lanes are narrow, but nevertheless it enabled travel to our destination there and back. Like any road or highway be mindful to allow extra travel time due to traffic, accidents or man made construction (God, willing) as a hinderance.

For someone like me who lives on the far Upper East Side by Spanish Harlem it's really convenient when driving south down Route 87/Major Deegan. The few times we rented a car to drive up and explore some cool towns like Sleepy Hallow, Tarrytown, Dobbs Ferry, and to gamble at Empire City Casino, we came back down later at night and a quick trek over to this bridge made getting back home pretty quick when traffic was backed up. Hey, it's a toll free bridge in NYC so that's three stars alone!

It's like my hidden little secret, even though others know the secret too. Just because I love getting into Manhattan for free, and getting out for free although that's the case with most exits ways, and sometimes skipping the traffic that might be in other places. You can't be mad at a bridge like that. In fact I'm very glad it's here, even though the paving has some issues.

It's also known as the Lenox Avenue Bridge, a name which is no longer used, but it still is used colloquially by everyone I know in Spanish Harlem or The Bronx, because it does connect with Lenox in Manhattan. It's often very busy with traffic, partly because it's one of the free ways (not freeways, but toll free ways) into Manhattan, and who doesn't want a free way into Manhattan! The alternative might be $15 or $8 or something! There's no great views a the skyline or anything, but it's free so I have no issue with it. In fact I give it five stars for that reason, despite the really bad paving in parts of the bridge and the roads leading up to it. Free entry to Manhattan is always five stars for me.

The 145th Street Bridge, located in New York City, is a four-lane swing bridge that crosses the…read moreHarlem River, connecting 145th Street and Lenox Avenue in Manhattan with East 149th Street and River Avenue in the Bronx. It once carried northbound New York State Route 22 and New York State Route 100. Additionally, this bridge, for its proximity to the eponymous avenue, was once named the "Lenox Avenue Bridge," an original name that has fallen into disuse. The bridge is operated and maintained by the New York City Department of Transportation. Okay, above is the googled history of this bridge since I am the first reviewer I had to represent just a lil bit, whew the pressure! LOL. I've walked and driven across this bridge many times. It's a small bridge that stays packed with traffic. A lot of people in the community take advantage of the easy access from borough to borough. The views aren't the best and there's not much to see in the area to go ooh and ahh or stop to take some photos. The best part of the bridge is that it's free for vehicles for now and its a quick walk to either side of the Bronx or Manhattan.

Note : In 2012 the tunnel was renamed the Hugh Carey Tunnel - in honor of the former NY governor from Brooklyn. But most people still call it the Battery tunnel, just like we still say it's the Tappan Zee Bridge (not the Mario M Cuomo). New Yorkas tend to hold on to our nostalgia. And old habits are tough to break.

City decided to revise schedule because bridge designs was changed. So instead of starting in 2013 they started in 2015. This happened to be an extremely important project rebuilding bridges, that connect Brooklyn to Kennedy Airport. So let's just suck it up and stop constantly complaining about traffic.

I have been bike riding within NYC for over 30 years and been on numerous MS rides around the city and ridden many 5-Boro bike tours so I can safely say this is one of the best bike rides inside NYC! The path you take is the parameter of the whole island of Manhattan. You get to ride the entire FDR Drive , Harlem River Drive, and the Westside Highway without any cars! The roadway is pretty smooth and safe. The ride is only 30-mile and it's relatively flat. There is a small hill on the northern tip right outside Isham Park but most of us walked it! The 30-miles sound like a lot but it is very easy and the pace is leisurely. Refreshments and snacks were plentiful. Everyone is friendly and you will be fund raising for a good cause. The event is well organized and with plenty of volunteers to help out in anyway. A big Thank You to all my friends that donated to MS! I hope to see more of my friends at this event next year!

They are nimble, clever, people-friendly structures which allow bipeds to cross--on foot--the most frenetic, deadly, dangerous 8-lane highways on the planet. Their presence in a street-system is a sign of municipal courtesy and civic-mindedness. When you spot one, you know that someone cares about YOU. And you know, each country does them differently. In Belgium they look like lily fronds; in China they look like starbusts; in Brazil they look like tree limbs. This one--very high profile in Lower Manhattan, right near WTC--seen by 1.5 motorists daily--just doesn't cut it. My gosh, I wouldn't cross the street to cross the street via this contraption. I wouldn't let a dog onto this rickety piece-of-shit. Its garish, Its blocky. Its grotesque. Typical New York! Godamn you! Its unfeeling. Just look at it! What is that, Death Star chic? What is this, 'LastDay' for Logan-5? Its one of the coldest and most unpleasant structures in Manhattan--which in itself, is an island just about as cheerful--these days--as a medieval abattoir. Does this overpass even have a name? Probably not. It doesn't deserve one. Steer CLEAR. Go around! Burrr!
