"This transformative redesign of the Washington Bridge will protect pedestrians and cyclists, speed up bus service, and make the street safer for everyone," said Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez.
The redesign aims to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists, while making the bus network more efficient along the corridor between University Avenue in the Bronx and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan.
The new infrastructure is expected to significantly improve safety on a corridor where previous conditions often forced pedestrians and cyclists to share narrow pathways.
On the Bronx side, the project adds a two-way barrier-protected bike lane on one of the entrance ramps from University Avenue, providing a safer cycling experience.
