Residents of Manhattan cannot access a segment of the East River Esplanade for the fourth summer due to ongoing construction delays from the Hospital for Special Surgery's new tower. Originally scheduled to reopen last summer, the timeline has continuously shifted, causing inconvenience to runners, walkers, and cyclists. Local advocacy group Friends of the East River Esplanade is seeking alternatives to maintain access to the waterfront. Hospital officials stated that the project involves complex infrastructure restoration and is being coordinated with various agencies.
The reopening of the esplanade keeps getting pushed back. It was originally set to reopen last summer, and now residents face extended closures.
A safe and permanent, or semipermanent, detour is being proposed by Friends of the East River Esplanade to address access issues during construction.
