go to http://gis.nyc.gov/doitt/nycitymap/ and take a look at what this area was like in 1924. check out the old aerial photographs of the city. you will hardly recognize it.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
There are about 4 sets of stairs along the pedestrian/bike path. You can slide your bike down the ramps.
Upvoted Feb 21- There’s also a pedestrian/bike path that allows you to get to Randall’s Island. Along the walk/ride, there is a phone that connects to the suicide prevention hotline.

If youre driving in early morning, get there before 655am if youre paying cash. You'll be stuck when the toll people switch out.
David SmagulaApril 12, 2012This is where I always check my watch and realize I'm going to miss my freaking flight.
If u come thru my cash lane you'll be in and out in less than 5sec... I keep things moving expeditiously
If you’re trying to cross a large body of water, I can’t recommend bridges enough!
The Corcoran GroupOctober 9, 2013Don't even bother trying to cross this bridge unless you have EZ pass - you could be waiting quite a while if you want to pay cash.
- logging in with your smartphone? use apps such as google maps-traffic and Waze to check up on the traffic. chances are you have a choice of which way to best get to where you are going.
This is the Triboro - no one calls it the RFK - renaming FAIL.
Nauman NoorJuly 28, 2013Why do New Yorkers never leave? Cannot afford the tolls. Best route in the evenings for a run to LGA.
The Wall Street JournalMay 1, 2010Is it the Triborough Bridge or the RFK Bridge? It's been the latter since November 2008, but New Yorkers, online maps, and even some government agencies haven't committed to the change. Read more
The original name Tri-Boro Bridge was just fine. Go figure
The city has to claim it has no money bit can waste it changing the name of the bridge. No pictures allowed from the bridge
Watch out for Port Authority Police cars parked on the shoulder enforcing the speed limit.
slow down for the sharp turn after the bridge on the Bronx-bound lanes, the pavement is a mess and will jack up your alignment!
Its still hard for me not to call it the Triborough bridge.
Dan ArmstrongJuly 27, 2009Ride your bike over the Triboro - 14 staircases, 200 vertical feet, 8 lanes of traffic, incredible views.
why the hell are you checking in! you should be driving people! lol
There are cops timing for speeding right before u get off the bridge, proceed with caution
Matt PatrickAugust 27, 2011Make it hail on the toll booth guy! Ok don't really, but damn that'd be funny!
