Facts
- Overview
- Four concrete arch bridges over a on-/off-ramps to 96th Street on the Henry Hudson Parkway in New York City
- Location
- New York, New York County, New York
- Status
- Open to traffic
- History
- Built 1938 as part of the West Side Improvement
- Design
- The parkway runs through the center of Riverside Park, and the narrowness of the park necessitates an interchange with a complex pair of sharp loops and four arch bridges. Drivers entering from 96th Street wanting to drive south on the parkway make a loop under the northern pair of arches to reach the southbound on ramp. Northbound exits to 95th Street also take this loop. Exits from the southbound parkway make a loop under the southern pair of arches to emerge at 95th Street. NYC BIN numbers 2229311/2229312 and 2229321/2229322.
