"Driving into Manhattan next week will be no joyride. The UN General Assembly (UNGA) will take place between Monday, Sept. 22, through Friday, Sept. 26, resulting in multiple street closures, congestion and reroutes, creating bumper-to-bumper traffic in Midtown and nearby areas. Drivers should expect extensive street closures and delays across Manhattan for the duration of next week, with many centered around the UN's headquarters along First Avenue between 34th and 63rd Streets."
"Despite congestion pricing, the streets will be packed with vehicles during UNGA, officials from the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) said. The agency strongly encourages New Yorkers and visitors to use non-driving modes of transportation, especially during UNGA. New Yorkers can choose from a variety of available transportation options, including regional rail lines, the 24/7 subway and bus system, ferries, cycling and walking"
The UN General Assembly runs Monday, Sept. 22 through Friday, Sept. 26, triggering multiple street closures, reroutes and heavy congestion in Midtown and adjacent areas. Many closures will center on First Avenue between 34th and 63rd Streets, and parts of the FDR Drive near the UN may close. Additional streets may shut down intermittently as diplomats and heads of state travel the city. The NYC Department of Transportation urges use of non-driving modes, citing congestion-pricing success. Commuters can use regional rail, the 24/7 subway and bus system, ferries, cycling and walking; MTA notes Midtown buses often face delays.
