Ward's Island Bridge

Category: Bridges
The Ward's Island Bridge is a pedestrian bridge crossing the Harlem River between the Manhattan Island and Ward's Island in New York City.

Its westward approaches connect to East 103rd Street and FDR Drive on the east side of Manhattan Island in the neighborhood known as Spanish Harlem. Its eastward approaches connect to pedestrian/bicycle trails on the west side of Ward's Island.

The Ward's Island Bridge is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. Cyclists are required to dismount when crossing, though the bridge is wide enough for cycling. The bridge is available for use from April through October during daylight hours.

The Ward's Island Bridge is a lift bridge. It is subject to opening in order to accommodate river shipping. During the winter months, November through March, the bridge is kept in the "open" position and cannot be accessed.
