after a renewed interest in bridges of late, I have been on a mission. By borough I have crossed as follows:
Bronx to Manhattan:
- Macombs Dam Bridge in May 2013
Manhattan to Brooklyn:
- Brooklyn Bridge: more times then I can count, also via bike
- Manhattan Bridge: June 2014
- Williamsburg Bridge: Summer 2013
Manhattan to Bronx:
- Macombs Dam Bridge
Queens to Manhattan:
- Queensboro Bridge, June 2014
Other:
- GW Bridge and back, July 2013
- Wards Island Pedestrian Bridge, May 2013
- Triboro (Randalls Island to Manhattan)
That’s all the major bridges with the exception of the Henry Hudson since there’s no pedestrian access on the Verrazano and the High Bridge has not yet re-opened. I really don’t have an interest in walking to the Rockaways so those are out.
What’s my next Great Manhattan Loop related goal? Riverside Drive! I’ve done it up as far as 125th St. but time to do the northern spur that I skipped in favor of a riverside walk two years ago.
