Street closures Sunday as Five Boro Bike Tour returns

The Five Boro Bike Tour is returning Sunday, with tens of thousands of cyclists expected to attend the 40-mile charity ride to raise funds for free bike education programming.

The city will shut down major thoroughfares to facilitate the ride Sunday, including portions of the FDR Drive, the BQE, the Ed Koch-Queensboro Bridge, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

The programs supported by the tour reach 30,000 New Yorkers a year, according to Bike New York, the nonprofit that organizes the tour.

“The future of New York City is on two wheels,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a letter published by the organization. “Bike New York has been an important ally in our united mission to promote cycling, protect and empower bike riders in our city, and encourage forms of movement that reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions."

The city estimates 32,000 cyclists will take part in the ride, taking them from the Battery to the Bronx, back down the FDR Drive to the Queensboro Bridge and into Astoria before heading south through Brooklyn and ultimately over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

A “Finish Festival” will be held at the 40-mile mark at the Empire Outlets shopping center in Brighton Heights, right around the corner from the Staten Island Ferry.

The MTA is encouraging cyclists to use the Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road to get into the city, temporarily suspending bike permit requirements Saturday and Sunday. Subway stations the agency prefers riders to use include Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, Bowling Green, the three Chambers Street stops, World Trade Center, and Cortlandt Street.

The transit authority is also asking riders not use Fulton Street, either of the Wall Street stations, Park Place, Rector Street, or Whitehall Street "as they are not well-equipped to handle large volumes of bicycles."

Streets will be closed beginning at 7 a.m., and some will stay closed as late as 7 p.m.

How can I ensure that I am assigned to the same start time as my friends and family?

Note :  VIPs and Bike New York Members do not form teams; you’ll automatically be grouped together. 

I'm a Bike New York Member; can my friends and family ride with me in the first wave?

Can I register someone else?

Yes, you may register other people for the Tour. 

Please note :  any person you register must sign the Tour waiver in order to complete their registration (with the exception of riders under age 18, who must have their waiver signed by the adult registering them).

Not to worry, though! We’ll email an unsigned waiver link to that person as soon as you sign them up.

I can't make it to the Tour - can I get a refund or transfer my entry?

Traffic to Be Diverted at Three MTA Crossings Sunday for 2022 MS Bike Tour

Henry Hudson Bridge. Image by mattlewisid from Pixabay

The 2022 MS Bike Tour, permitted by New York City, on Sunday, Oct. 23, will impact motorists who normally use the MTA’s Robert F. Kennedy Bridge, Henry Hudson Bridge and Hugh L. Carey Tunnel. Although the race will not result in the closure of any bridge or tunnel, approach roadways to the facilities, as well as several exit and entrance ramps, will be impacted.

Motorists should be aware of the closures and use alternate routes if possible.

Henry Hudson Bridge

7 a.m. to Noon: There will be no access to the southbound Henry Hudson Bridge heading into Manhattan. 

Hugh L. Carey Tunnel 

6:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.: All traffic exiting the tunnel in Manhattan will be detoured northbound onto West Street or through the Trinity Place exit, which will remain open. NYPD will close southbound West Street and the Battery Park Underpass from West Street to the FDR Drive.

7 a.m. to 10 a.m.:  The northbound FDR Drive and Harlem River Drive will be closed, as will the northbound Harlem River Drive exit ramp from the RFK Bridge. All Manhattan-bound traffic crossing the RFK Bridge will exit onto the southbound FDR Drive or East 125th Street.

This independent charity ride will start and end on the West Side of Manhattan for a 30-mile route completely traffic free.

Motorists can sign up for MTA e-mail or text alerts at  www.mymtaalerts.com  and check the Bridges and Tunnels homepage for the latest information.

By Katie Houlis

Updated on: April 13, 2024 / 10:32 AM EDT / CBS New York

NEW YORK -- Parts of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway are shut down this weekend, April 13-15, as crews conduct essential deck repair work that will include new concrete and steel bars.

The New York City Department of Transportation said the repairs are critical and will extend the lifespan of the BQE.

Traffic agents will be in place to help drivers navigate.

BQE closures

All Queens-bound lanes of the BQE are closed between Atlantic Avenue and Sands Street from 2 a.m. Saturday to 4 a.m. Monday.

Drivers will not be able to make eastbound left turns from Atlantic Avenue onto Hicks Street or Clinton Street, except for buses.

The following ramps will be closed:

• Third Avenue at 65th Street entrance
• Sixth Avenue at 65th Street entrance
• Prospect Expressway entrance
• Hamilton Avenue entrance
• Atlantic Avenue entrance
• Cadman Plaza exit
• Brooklyn Bridge exit
• Manhattan Bridge exit

The DOT posted several detours to help drivers navigate the closures.

Atlantic Avenue detour

Drivers will exit at Atlantic Avenue, make a left onto Boerum Place, followed by a right onto Tillary Street, then take the ramp onto the BQE.

Third Avenue entrance ramp detour

Drivers will exit Gowanus Expressway at Exit 21 to Third Avenue in Brooklyn. Travel along Third Avenue, then turn left onto Flatbush Avenue, followed by a right onto Tillary Street and take the ramp onto the BQE.

Prospect Expressway entrance ramp tour

Drivers will take the Prospect Expressway towards Gowanus Expressway. Exit Gowanus Expressway at Hamilton Avenue, then turn right onto Hicks Street, followed by a right onto Atlantic Avenue and a left onto Boerum Place. Then, turn right onto Tillary Street and take the ramp onto the BQE.

Linden Boulevard detour

Truck drivers are advised to exit Gowanus Expressway at Prospect Expressway, then exit at 10th Avenue. Turn right onto 10th Avenue, then left onto McDonald Avenue and left again onto Caton Avenue. Continue onto Linden Boulevard and follow detour routes to Conduit Avenue, which will offer connections to the Nassau Expressway, Van Wyck Expressway and Long Island Expressway via the Van Wyck Expressway.

The closures are due to ongoing repairs and follow a previous round of construction back in October . The DOT says similar closures for repairs are expected the weekend of June 1-3.

NYC DOT Reminds New Yorkers of Closures on Brooklyn-Queens Expressway This Weekend – April 13-15 for Necessary Deck Repair Work; Motorists Should Avoid the BQE in Brooklyn

Motorists will be detoured in the Queens bound direction during weekend travel; NYC DOT launched media campaign targeted to local communities to keep them notified of closures and detours

NEW YORK — New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez today reminded New Yorkers of expected closures this weekend for necessary repair and replacement work in mid-April to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway in Brooklyn, including full closures between the Atlantic Avenue entrance ramp and the Manhattan Bridge exit ramp in the Queens-bound direction. Closures will begin Saturday, April 13 at 2 a.m. through Monday, April 15 at 4 a.m. NYC DOT also continued a public notification campaign geared to local neighborhoods and communities ahead of the closures and detours. The repairs, which build on successful repair work conducted in October 2023, focus on new concrete and reinforcing steel bars being added at spans on the BQE near Clark Street and Grace Court as part of near-term work critical to extending the structure’s lifespan. These weekend repairs will be followed by a final, similar round of repairs expected to occur on June 1 to 3.

“Just as we did successfully last fall, we continue to deliver critical repairs to the BQE to preserve its lifespan while minimizing the impact on the local community,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez . “I encourage all New Yorkers to avoid the BQE in Brooklyn this weekend and to take mass transit.”
