The Madison Avenue Bridge is a significant bridge in New York City that spans the Harlem River, connecting the neighborhoods of Manhattan and the Bronx. Opened in 1900, the bridge was originally built to accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It features a steel arch design, which was innovative for its time, and is noted for its distinctive architectural style.
The bridge has undergone several renovations and restorations over the years to improve its structural integrity and maintain its functionality. Today, the Madison Avenue Bridge primarily serves vehicle traffic, and it features a walkway for pedestrians and cyclists, allowing for safe passage across the river.
The Madison Avenue Bridge is an important transportation link, facilitating travel between the two boroughs and providing access to various local amenities and neighborhoods. Its location also offers scenic views of the Harlem River and the surrounding area, making it a notable landmark within the city’s extensive network of bridges.
Cassandra Jenkins Pannell: Also know on the Manhattan side as the 135th street bridge and on the Bronx side as the 139th St Bridge.
Vincent Perrelli: Probably one of the few toll-free points of access between The Bronx and Manhattan, an I right?
