The pathway in the park near the GeorgeWashington Bridge has been reopened to pedestrians and bicyclists as ofthis morning 4/28/09 and will not require any further closures.
Assuming no other projects are pending elsewhere along the route, it looks like bike riders and walkers can finally take advantage of an uninterrupted path from Battery Park to Inwood.
