From nyc.gov comes news that the north bikeway of the Manhattan Bridge will reopen on Monday, August 6. The north bikeway has been closed since last October because of “various construction tasks in association with the rehabilitation of the lower roadway of the bridge as well as to ensure and maintain public safety during the rehabilitation.” When the bikeway reopens the south walkway will return to pedestrian use only. Work on the lower roadway, which has been closed since last fall, is scheduled to wrap up in October. The entire Manhattan Bridge project will run through 2013. More info about the project is available here.
