Jan 29 2012 Published by Anthony Olszewski under Uncategorized

For the week starting 1/30/12, the George Washington Bridge north side pedestrian walkway and bicycle path will be open daily Monday thru Friday and will close at night from 12am to 6am. It will be closed on Saturday and Sunday. The south side George Washington Bridge pedestrian walkway and bicycle path will be closed daily on Monday thru Friday. It will reopen daily on Saturday and Sunday and will close at night from 12am to 6am.

My understanding is that the George Washington Bridge north side pedestrian walkway and bicycle path has some 10 flights of stairs modified to allow bikes to be walked down instead of carried.

The 176th steps did not seem to go to the Greenway. I turned back and found the bike route at 181st Street. The George Washington Bridge bike path / walkway that I access from NJ is on the south side of the bridge.
